			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/pants.jpg" alt="" title="pants" width="250" height="218" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2723" />Slyly insulting your bank with the word &#8220;pants&#8221; can have its consequences.</p>
<p>Sound crazy?  Check it out: A British bank customer says he wasn&#8217;t pleased with his bank, Lloyd&#8217;s TSB, so he changed his banking password to &#8220;Lloyds is pants.&#8221;  Brilliant insult, if I don&#8217;t say so myself.</p>
<p>But things only get funnier from there.  The guy says he soon discovered a bank staff member <a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20080828/0938222122.shtml">had changed the password</a> &#8212; to &#8220;no it&#8217;s not.&#8221;  </p>
<p>So our fella, of course, tried to change it again.  This time he opted to go with &#8220;Barclays is better,&#8221; referring to a competing British bank.  He says, though, the system wouldn&#8217;t let him; he had mysteriously been locked out of changing the password at all.  And when he called the bank, he says they wouldn&#8217;t let him change it back to &#8220;Lloyds is pants,&#8221; either &#8212; because they thought it was inappropriate.</p>
<p>&#8220;I asked if it was &#8216;pants&#8217; they didn&#8217;t like, and would &#8216;Lloyds is rubbish&#8217; do? But they didn&#8217;t think so,&#8221; <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/hereford/worcs/7585098.stm">he told the BBC</a>.</p>
<p>Our saucy lad asked if he could change it to &#8220;censorship,&#8221; but the bank shot that one down too.</p>
<p>The bank has since apologized and says the employee who made the initial change no longer works there.</p>
<p>What a load of pants.</p>
