WTF “van Gogh” Platinum Card …
By LawrenceSometimes cultural clash can be quite absurd.
I just learned that in Asia there is this credit card named "van Gogh" Platinum Card and a financial institution offering the "van Gogh" money management service …
I understand if you are Asians, you probably do not understand what is wrong.
If you know anything about van Gogh, however,you would find this so sarcastic.
Platinum in Chinese sounds exactly like the words for "money given to those whose closest relative just died".
van Gogh died poor. He never made much money anyway.
Do you want "van Gogh" money management service to manage your money?
If it is a reflection of the quality of those who intend to management your money …

Hahaha this one is really funny… I guess the reason why they put in Van Gogh and platinum card really is to associate the sense of artistic class and “rich” since you are platinum level – BUT they haven’t really consider reading it the other way Lawrence style hahaha…
