Ad #39: Banned Ads, Master Card murder=priceless?
So this is a really creepy ad. =S I think they meant for this to be humorous but it went the opposite direction into disturbing. Obviously it was banned for violence and should have been banned for the creep factor alone. This commerical uses the classic Mastercard style listing something and its costs, then another thing and its cost and eventually getting to the something that is priceless. In this case though they leave out the priceless slogan and use text to say "there are some things money shouldn't buy" and stick with the newer tagline, "for everything else there is mastercard." This also does not show the product in use. Even though we know from the format it is master card we do not see the product at all or hear the voice of the announcer instead it is all doen in text. In all I think this is an ineffective and tasteless commercial
