Citi Thinks Diseases are Comedy Gold
The unintentional comedy of the context ad bots strikes again.
While posting a message to a Myspace support group for sufferers of fibromyalgia and other chronic pain and fatigue disorders, Brian was greeted with the ad at right, which reads, “Chronic Feetiuge. Tired of paying credit card late fees.”
Whether by design or serendipity, Citi offended him. Brian suggests these other slogans Citi could look into for expanding the “Diseases are Funny” campaign:
“AIDS – Annual Interest Depression Syndrome“
“Financial Myalgia – the pain one feels when paying too much for checking“
“Terminal Cancer – the desire to cancel one’s high-interest credit cards“
