Bank of America and Racial Commentary
Every day, I make sure to do a little something that is just for me. It keeps me healthy. Today, it was replacing my check card. Bank of America allows you to select from a bunch of different cards, mostly sports and charities. Wanting to find the best and/or most ludicrous option, I decided to go for this:
As I was navigating their website to find the number to make the change, I run into their advert for their service...
I couldn't help but notice that they have an Asian woman with a gift bag/pink turtleneck to represent Hello Kitty and a white dude with folded arms/muscles and a crappy Nascar shirt for Nascar. Not to mention the pink and blue arrows to make sure you know that these are the best checking account options for these individuals.

For a moment I thought your bank offered a dating service.

I thought the same thing about the bank's dating service. Then I wondered if it was funded by the bailout plan, like a new strategy for making more money.

I saw some of those ads where they had strange juxtapositioning of things like a grandma with the Nascar card... Those ones also play off of stereotypes, but by shocking the brain and creating humor.
Pink and blue arrows. Nice touch.

BUT WHAT DID YOU DO? and i'm sure your getting a hello kitty card will somehow lead to your landing some kind of awesome date story. I look forward to it!
