Stoopid Ad II

The Visa check card commercials.

Yeah, I know it's convenient. I use mine so much I have a bad habit of losing track of my check book for those things I actually write checks for. But the commercials imply that the world stops when you whip out a check book or (God Forbid) cash. But here's the reality -- not every place takes cards -- here we are getting ready to order at the spaghetti place. They don't take plastic, so I have to leave the store, drive to the cash machine, drive back and pay. How convenient is that?

They threw in some cinnamon bread -- I thought that was nice...
