Re: (313) Looking For The Perfect VISA commercial? :)

[Michael . Elliot-Knight]

Bam's getting paid twice - once for songwriter/composer and again for
publishing
Visa probably paid out bigtime for that track - look at the number of hands
in that pie!
6 composers and 3 publishers?  That didn't come cheap I can guarantee you.

yeah, I'm sure Bam and Arthur are saying the exact same thing as they go to
the bank with their checks.

Refreshing?!  Because some crappy songs are used in most
shite advertising, it legitimizes this ad because they sacrilegiously
chose to use a classic to push their Sh!ttybanking?!
Fnck that concept and fnck tv advertising.  VISA should be
applauded for this lameness?!  No way.

Turn off, turn 'on', tune 'in' and drop out.
