(A) wonderful ad(s) connecting plugs and financial services

I am not saying they stole it, I am not saying they didn't!... But the new ad from HSBC - which is a great descendant of their original ads - has a stricking resemblance to this Morgan Stanley ad back from 1995 which also used electric plugs to indicate that no matter for disparate the different parameters, there is indeed one common denominator to judge them all - and to make them all function into the investor's favor. It might be a simple case of "great minds think alike" - or someone at the HSBC advertising agency has a backlog of ads to match mine!
