King Richard offering you financial freedom

The British are coming! Well one Brit, actually: billionaire Richard Branson, who rides into Boston’s Copley Square today (on an eco-friendly bike) to launch a new ad campaign for Virgin Money USA. They’re closing off part of Boylston Street, which means I might have to risk a blast of T-Radio, as the subway will be the only way to get around. The event is being billed as a “financial revolution” and, according to the press release, will feature “a 24-hour countdown clock, a cast of sexy Georgettes, a fife and drum corps and lots of extra surprises.”
