Those of us who watch commercial television stations in California have been bombarded with an excruciatingly annoying spot for Chase Bank, as in JP Morgan Chase & Co., who bought out the failed Washington Mutual, and gosh darn it, they want all of us in the Golden State to know that, over and over and over ad nauseam.
As a shitty cover version of John Lennon's Instant Karma plays in the background , genetically pleasing examples of humankind float effortlessly through their perfect lives, with the Chase logo replacing the very sun in the sky. (And as for those of you thinking I'm a Peter Murphy basher, fuck you, I was probably listening to Bauhaus when you were still considering Men At Work to be the greatest band, like ever man.) On a side by side comparison, any of Leni Riefenstahl's documentaries during Hitler's reign had less fascist-aesthetic overtones than this commercial.
But hey, when Uncle Sam hands you 25 bil, you've got to spend it on something, right?
Don't feel left out just because you're living outside of the West Coast where WaMu got played like Poland by Chase. I'm posting the commercial on my blog so that I can, uh, share the love, yeah that's it.
Enjoy the propaganda.
