I was on the subway today staring at a Chase Bank ad that simply had the computery-looking characters FSTR $. Honestly, I stared and stared and thought, “Fisters? At Chase Bank? I remember when they just offered toasters!” It really took a few minutes before it sunk in that it meant “faster cash.”
You know damn well some advertising guy is laughing his ass off (!) at what he got over on the client.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if the person who designed the ad wasn’t a Sub-Genius? They have a publication called The Stark Fist of Removal which, IIRC, features a hand holding a fistful of dollars in it’s logo.
