An Agence France-Presse report about inept Finnish bank robbers was already funny itself: Drunken 50-something Finns (unmasked and easily identifiable) came into a bank intending to rob it, but were talked into a bank loan by the bank manager, left without a fuss, and ultimately were arrested at home. But then AFP paired it with a photograph of a Finn bringing his savings to a bank - plastic baggies of coins and hippo banks from the Hungry Hungry Hippos collection!

just to clarify, the hippo is the popular mascot for one of finland's major banks. they actively sponsor many athletics competitions for finnish kids.
i can't find any proper pages to show it in action but http://www.osuuspankki.fi/ is the bank.
best bank robbery. ever.
i wish my bank would let me bring in my big jar o' change. i have to lug it to the coinstar machine in the supermarket instead and lose 10 percent or so. i want a hippo bank as well.
