The Sex Pistols' New Venture Is ... Not So Rebellious

From punk rock icons to ... credit card hawkers? Yes, indeed, the Sex Pistols will be helping a UK bank sell its credit cards, the Guardian reports. The band's name and album artwork will appear on a series of cards for Virgin Money, the bank founded by Sir Richard Branson, because, the bank says, it's "time for consumers to put a little bit of rebellion in their pocket." And to a degree, they will: One of the designs features their album "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols." Adds the bank's director of cards, "The Sex Pistols challenged convention and the established ways of thinking—just as we are doing today in our quest to shake up UK banking." Branson's Virgin Records, of course, signed the Sex Pistols back in May 1977. (More Sex Pistols stories.)
