credit card commercial

i just thought this was an interesting take on the issues facing capitalism....

the opening line: "we are a nation of consumers....and that's ok!" is particularly striking

You will see credit card companies, Mortgage banks and even the auto dealerships looking for a new "helpful" spin on their main agenda: getting your debt.

The commercial doesnt suprise me in its positive approach, but the message is still the same: chose Discover Card.

AHHHHH! that was a really weird mix of "consumerism is awesome," "watch out for debt and overspending," and "our credit card is the solution to your debt problem." That last message i find especially puzzling . . .
