Mastercard's Peyton Manning Pep Talks More Worthless than Priceless
Talk about deception. Here's a campaign that looked like something it wasn't.
Mastercard's Priceless Pep Talks with Peyton Manning gives you two text-entry boxes: a place for your name, and a place to enter something you're bummed about.
But if your name isn't already in a pre-set database, you officially do not exist. And the second box seems to be stuck on one setting: "I drive a minivan."
As a result, Peyton Manning addresses us by a name that isn't ours, and gives us a pep talk about how we can soup up the depressing minivan we don't have.
This sucks. And even if it worked the way it was supposed to, how is Peyton Manning going to give you customized advice about any one of your myriad problems? He can't tell you to paint flames down the side of your recent transfer to the receivables department.

Why even make something that's been done better 100 times before?
maybe you should take a little more time on the site before start your sorry crying!!
i was in the site, and ya it has 12 more options than selecting other then minivan....
and about the names, there are other options you can choose.. friend.. myman.. whateva..
Nikki: I would have spent more time on the site, but that's what you're for.

I think you are just not the demographic they are going for. At all. Because to males age 16-40, Peyton Manning is the greatest sports advertiser ever. And maybe you should upgrade your craptastic IE 6 browser. Peyton Manning ads = brilliant. You = not so much.
I am not very critical by nature, but I have to say: the site reviewer looked dumb in this case. Saying the "minivan" option was the only one showed a failure to figure out a simple web site control. And to complain about the lack of name choices... and not mention how witty the site is?? Is there no sense of humor? No sense of what key elements should be evaluated?
Not bad
funny for football guys
Lighten up angry creatives
What kind of moron thinks peyton is actually giving them advice...Here's some advice,turn off the telivision,and read a book!!!!
It's obvious the person who made the review doesn't have a clue, doesn't understand male, football fan, humor. That person should be sent to review Nascar races, bet that would be fun to read. Actually the review was almost as much fun as the pep talks.
This was way better when they did it with Sam L Jackson for "Snakes On A Plane"
