Harry Potter and the Order of the Visa

We're watching a show right now about the "Secrets of Harry Potter" on A&E. A good show, but something's really bothering me about it. Then, after watching the same Visa commercial for the 2000th time tonight, it hits me. It's a training exercise. Seriously, think about it. Who's going to be watching this show right now? 14-16 year olds? The perfect age to start training them that "using cash is bad". You should use your Visa to buy everything. People who pay cash are stinky and make you wait in line. Don't you hate that? Every commercial break so far has lead in with the Visa commercial and lead back with it.

How easy are we swayed?
