This is awesome. Note the capitalone.ca and the maple leaf on the card. That right kids... made in Canada (I think).

Good ad, I'm really surprised they would run this because I bet a lot of people would be offended by it. Perhaps that's part of the reason I like it so much.
I love this ad. I totally agree with Mark about the offensive nature of this commercial. They are taking a bit of a gamble with an ad like this because they are going to most likely piss off the Christian brigades and not to mention other religious groups.
This, in my opinion is one of the better Capital One design-your-own credit card commercials. I will never ever deal with Capital One because I can't stand receiving pre-selected or pre-approved crap from them, but I like the commercial.
I really don't think people will take offense to it because it's done in such a goofy, playful way. Anybody that takes offense to this commercial probably needs to lighten up.
People need to pick their battles, and considering how short of a life span Capital One spots seem to have, this just isn't worth getting worked up over. In 2 weeks they'll release another spot and most people will forget this one.
Wade, you're telling Christian fundamentalists to lighten up. These are the same people who wanted Spongebob Squarepants removed because they thought he was gay.
