ATM Shame

From my sister in law, currently living in Japan:


This picture was taken at an ATM. Apparently this is the image that appears when the user either does something wrong or does not have enough money for a withdrawal. The bank is embarrassed by the transaction, and wishes to convey the sentiment.

Very Japanese. Then again, we could learn a thing or two here in America. Given our debt-ridden, hyper-extended culture - I think awkward shame needs to make a comeback.
