I am spreading these around the [guess which bank?] office! Great stuff, wendell. You can rest well knowing that your subversive ideas will now be plastered all over the belly of the beast.
I think Citibank's ad campaign sucks, mostly because it give people bad advice, along the lines of, "It's okay to go heavily into debt to your bank, as long as you're happy." It really isn't, and happiness isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Aw, don't get your knickers in a twist, Hugh (Hugh Janus with twisted knickers? Now THAT'S a wardrobe malfunction). While I agree that apostrophe abuse is one of our nation's grwatest problems, I'm not going to condemn someone who only did it once (I'll bet you didn't even inhale).
As for the awful message of the ads, I think it can be better summed up as "Don't worry about your money. Let US do it for you. Heh heh heh." That's why the fake citibank slogans aren't just good satire; they are a way of life.
