1. Capital One commercials are some of the worst on TV today.
Frankly, their advertising agency should be ashamed of themselves.

It's the latest in a series of Capital One commercials involving ghosts, monsters, abominable snowmen, now vikings. It all makes very little sense.

2. They symbolize you being raped and plundered by Visa
...or MasterCard...

Of course, Capital One is as bad as any of them, if not worse. Shit, what they spend on advertising and direct junk mail could feed the world's poor.
