Kaupthinking
I remember laughing my arse off when I read the last slide of a leaked kaupthing creditors report on wikileaks a while back, it simply said "thinking beyond" For a bank that imploded and almost took the country with it, it was a classic slogan.
However, even that pales in comparison to this:
Especially amusing because it appears to be real:
"I have it confirmed from reliable sources that this is indeed a real Kaupthing video.
It is not a fake as some have suggested. It looks a bit amateurish, but it is certainly for real.
It was first shown in October 2005 in the French city of Nice, at a meeting of the senior management team. The video has not been changed or edited from that meeting.
After the meeting in France the video was shown often at many internal meetings and events held by Kaupthing. This was not shown openly or aired on TV because Kaupthing had not paid any royalties, or had in fact any permission to use the music or the video footage and images that are shown. The bank took extra care not let this video leak out for this reason."

It's gems like that that really make your day. Kaupthinking ftw!
