Terrible Tuesdays: Capital ONE SHITTY TV SPOT

War kittens? Cardlab? What's in your Wallet? Not Capital One, I am sure of that! This commercial is very dumb, not entertaining, nor clever and sends me racing for the remote to turn the channel.

The only thought I am left with upon the rancid sight of this bollocks is why credit card companies are allowed to advertise? The total U.S. consumer debt reached $962 billion in May 2008 and the marathon of TV spots and direct mail continue to flood American culture. If I am not mistaken, cigarette companies were cast out of TV land because of what their "product" was doing to people.
