Awwwww! Mastercard commercial = ADORABLE.→[More:] Does anyone else think that this commercial is super cute? I need some validation. I think it should be turned into a children's book, especially the last two scenes, with the little cottage and then the zookeeper all wrapped up in his sweaters and blankets and awwwwww.
I just watched the video while listening to the Bloodhound Gang's "Fire Water Burn." The crunchy guitars and "we don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn" made an interesting contrast to the sweet video.
Actually, the zookeepers' union has a generous prescription plan, so there was probably only a $5 co-pay. Still, I often think about the fact that just about anybody could go to my pharmacy, say "I'm picking up for Wittler" and take my meds. Fortunately, I don't have any really 'fun' prescriptions.
That Paypass thing is pretty interesting - they've made paying for things on Mastercard much easier, making the transaction process almost trivial, which is undoubtably going to mean increased spending by the card owners.
