Visa knows football? Don't bank on it.

Visa and Commerce Bank want to send someone to the Super Bowl. That's sweet of them. They want to get people excited. They want people to know the tickets are good. Not just good, amazing. Up close to the action. Practically on the field.



Look how close they are!!! This could be YOU at the SUPER BOWL. You will practically be another lineman. Belichick's camera crew can't even get this close. You can smell the sweat of the players. The coconut fragrance of Shanahan's tanning lotion. They are primed. They are hungry. Good lord, I think my underwear is moist I am so excited.

This is the Super Bowl!!!! The (possible) AFC Champion New England Patriots against the (possible) AF...C....CHA..mpi...on...Wait..How the hell can the Pats and Broncos play in the Super Bowl?

They can't. Every sports fan knows that. Apparantly no one at Commerce or Visa seems to know or care. Coming from a marketing background, this drives me nuts. This ad had to be approved by probably forty different people. And no one caught this mistake?

Visa is a proud sponsor of the NFL. They just don't know anything about it.
