Visa – Life Flows Better With Visa – Featuring Bill Shannon
10 March 2009 by SilkyAnother advert, another shameless rip-off:
Well, although it might not quite be a rip-off – the Visa version does at least feature Bill Shannon – it is a perfect copy of the music video for Rjd2′s “Work It Out”:
Lazy, Visa. Lazy.

These payment processing companies make so much money, it’s now a competition to see who can show the longest ads…

What the heck is that advert trying to say though?
Hey, we’re VISA and disabled friendly?
Hey, we’re VISA and used by twats who pretend to have a disabilty?
Seriously. And what’s with him trying to clock that birds PIN number at the ATM?
Triumph of style(fsvo) over content..

hes not exactly disabled but hes just got his Visa bill and has gone weak at the knees….the only thing to cure him is upsetting pedestrians by being a menace on crutches, and more retail therapy…. you know , that stuff that got him the Visa bill in the first place………VISA- We’ll cripple you!

have any of you tried searching?
“The beauty of Bills movement is as inspirational as it is mesmerising. The fluidity of his dance moves meant that it didnt take us long to realise that he was the perfect embodiment of VISAs flow campaign. He was first spotted in a promo for RJD2 shot by Joey Garfield that was featured on the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors showcase. In the TV ad not only does Bills choreography represent life flowing effortlessly but his flow and movement throughout the film turns a mundane shopping trip into something quite magical.”

These people can be seen everyday in the UK on their way to be assessed for their disability benefits. Of course they go into hobble mode when in sight of the Dss office.

Why don’t they show people waking up in a sweat because they’re in debt with all the charges and interest from these companies?

Hey muppets, it’s not Visa that charges you interest. It’s your banks. Where does your card come from – Visa Towers? Nope, your bank.
