Admittedly the idea to convey the image of a “cool” investment banker by putting him on a skateboard was a bit of a miss but making the event a tailgate, before this weekend’s Duke v Alabama game? Inspired.

When did the ACC play football?
Nice tags.
have a picture of dude throwing a switch front blunt down a 10-set and i’m sold
A black guy wearing a suit on a skateboard.
WTF?
Wait, so he’s a rapper for goldman AND a skateboarder for BoA?
This guy has talent…
Cause black people excel at all sports right? Diversity and coolness. Killed two birds with one stone.
Those wheels are too small. Always rolled on 50mm Spitfires myself. Additionally the person obviously does not know how to do noseslides/nose-bluntslides. Also now wear and tear on those shoes…hell the shine is still on them. This ad screams that he is not a real skater.

Oooh! Co-brand w/ Avril! She’s hip, right?
Clearrrrrrrrrrrrly dirty rushing
roll tide. gator girls are fat
He should’ve been on a fixie instead of a skateboard.
watch out for Jefferies response to this with their own ad with a ginger getting across town on heelies.

Did he have to return the skateboard to the UST after the shoot?
It’s Duke. They’re a basketball school. Black people play basketball. And skateboard.
Would have been a lot cooler if they had a laxer party with prostitutes on the poster. Then you’d KNOW they get Duke…
I hate you
Post of the day….RIGHT HERE! ***golf clap***
I wonder if Duke students thought that was an advert for a new skating rapper who steals from Men’s Warehouse…you know, cause Duke is 100% White, WASP, Anti-Semetic, and Racist.
Sort of shocked that every post that came from someone who knew their shit on skateboarding had several “likes” tagged. I guess I am sort of shocked as most skaters at my high school went on to become waiters, not work in finance. Not hating just an observation.
Merrill expands to market private wealth to frat boys?

im not sure which is more impossible ….
at these career fairs does bofa mention the historical turnover of its jr. employees? just want to thank bofa again for laying me and 95% of my 07 associate class off.
duke is a faggot school… all the kids whose parents went to ivy league schools whose daddy wouldn’t let them go disgrace his alma mater because sonny took it in the ass too many times in high school… those fags go to duke
Sorry you didn’t get in and are now working for a bunch of Duke grads….
Faggot school or no, Duke alums make fine employees.
Imagine some German photographer screaming at this poor model, “Dunn vorry, Andre, eet’s nailed to de floor!”
Hey BAC, FU, I’m from Texas.

Well this skater in high school had a excellent gpa, took a few AP classes his senior year, and is actually not a retard. Come to think of it, a lot of skaters in my area went into the military except one friend that became an EE.
Most do, same with snowboarding, amount of time you need to dedicate doesn’t necessarily work well with traditional work hours. That being said, so long as you’re not putting in 80-100 hours a week you can fit it in on weekends.
Wait for winter to roll around, hopefully the bro-nacular will go up once the season starts
Guess you did not learn how to skateboard to the office in a suit.
i think Merrill is risking too much with this advertisement. you know how much trouble they had the last time they hired a black guy (Stan O’Neal).
really a recruiting event a football tailgate? ya if you want to hire kids whose priorities are so misaligned as to go to a recruiting event instead of getting fucked up and trying to get laid. what’s next, a frat party recruiting event? then you could get the biggest douche-nozzles in the school….
**at a football tailgate**
Merrill Lynch would officially like to announce its preference to employ those kids who smoked a lot of weed and spent 6 hours a day failing to perform basic tricks on a child’s toy.
Is there anything more embarassing than a skateboarder older than about 15? I mean I get it if you’re good enough to go pro and be in commercials, videogames etc. Or if you’re a paedophile and want teenaged girls to think you’re their age but somehow more mature. But otherwise, it’s not something you usually associate with a positive image of ambitious young businesspeople.
i skated when i was younger and nothing says barney like looking like a gddmn beach boy holding your hand out in front like that.
90% of people at BAML now are legacy MER… i don’t think this is a “historical turnover” issue, more like “2008 let’s swap out our investment bank for their actually good one” issue
