Virgin Money announced the launch of two exclusive Sex Pistols-themed credit cards in the U.K. The pair feature the artwork from the band’s iconic punk albums Never Mind the Bollocks and Anarchy in the U.K.
But don’t worry, the company assures in a press release, they are mainaining that punk integrity.

“Three options are available, including an eye-catching vertical design, with new technology allowing all customer personalisation (name, card number, expiry date) to be moved to the back of the card preserving the integrity of the Sex Pistols artwork and allowing it to be reproduced in full,” the release reads.
The people of Twitter are not entirely on board with the concept and are calling the monolith brand out for either killing or not understanding punk.
Virgin Money reports that their cheeky advertising campaign is still, today, being censored because of the use of a certain word not deemed appropriate for the general public.
