Barclay Slideless Card Slides America Towards Speedo Nightmare

barclay_slideless_card.jpg

When you leave the office at the end of the day, you commute home on a water slide, right? Wait, what? You don’t? What’s wrong with you!?!? Idiot. Everyone commutes to and from work on a slide these days. Just watch this Barclay commercial hyping its slideless (pun?) card. Wait, what? It’s just one guy? OK, so he’s the idiot.

And what’s this spot telling us anyway? It’s great the card is slideless but are we to believe we have to get inside a water slide to use it? Wait, what? This is advertising? It’s meant to be metaphorical? Well thank God. The thought of hundreds of disgustingly obese Americans slipping into Speedos to commute to and from work is enough to make one barf all over Madison Avenue.

Did Donny Deutsch create this?
