One pony trick

While I'm not usually a fan of children in advertising, the little girl shown here makes the spot work (you get the feeling they cut away right before she started crying). A nice, simple idea that makes a point about a bank I've never heard of but would like to know more about.

Bank of America could never pull this off because...well, they've got no soul.

They may be assholes, but their money's green!

At first glance, this full page ad in the NY Times for jetBlue appears to be giving comeuppance to all the greedy idiots who got our country into its present economic mess. But really, jetBlue doesn't care how crooked or incompetent these fine financial folks are. As long as they've (still) got money, well, welcome aboard!

Not exactly a "power to the people" message. Just my luck I'd get stuck sitting next to one of them, too.
