Sorry Bobby, they wanna put their name on the NION list, they go on my list...
BTW, looks like the backlash is working:
email from visa...seems they've pulled the Martin Sheen ads!!! Yeah!!
Thank you for writing Visa USA. We always value feedback from cardholders.
While we understand your concerns, it's important to know that Visa doesn't
endorse any personal political positions of individuals who appear in our
advertisements. Mr. Sheen is part of a long list of celebrities that we use
or have used -- from Yao Ming to Bob Dole to Kevin Bacon--to promote the
check card and while they play a role in our spots, they in no way represent
the views of Visa. Visa USA remains focused on providing cardholders with
the best global payments network offering an abundance of payment choices.
That being said, we can also say that this commercial is not on air anymore.
Again, thank you for writing. We hope that you will continue to choose Visa
as a secure, convenient, and reliable way to pay.
VISA Webmaster
