The major redeeming value these ads have is that they provide me with comic relief. (I do think that Scatwoman has a good voice, but what a waste.) I find the whole notion of graceless morons waving their Mastercards International, complaining that they're bored, offensively humorous. "Tonight the ballet, tomorrow, Broadway." "I bought my baubles in Bimini, I bought my SCUBA in Aruba." "Schlitz Light." How terribly impressive. Sometimes, when I'm bored, walking down the street, go into Mastercard International mode. What a riot.

Just think of the air time they'd save.
