Not really, considering that the Mastercard merchant’s agreement (and I think the Visa one, too) prohibit that. ---

This was my mistake, I didn’t know they are brothers. I would like to thank everyone who pointed this out to me. I would also like to say I am sorry to the executives at Visa, I clearly made a mistake. Still, I think they should have a warning that they are twins or something. I don’t follow football, so how was I supposed to know? I am sorry. ---

Wait, wait, wait. The OP protests that black people don’t look alike, but doesn’t notice that the two black people in the commercial actually _do_ look alike? Hmmmm… ---

VISA was not implying that all black people look alike. Anyone remember the “I am Emmit Smith” spot? It is obvious that VISA was implying that all black football players look like little old white ladies. And since all little old white ladies look alike, the clerk couldn’t distinguish between Tiki and Ronde. ---

Dude, didn’t you notice their names on their shirts? They were wearing shirts that had the names of their teams as well as their names… ---

He might not have known they were twins if he doesn’t follow football. They’re NOT identical. I don’t think I would have immediately assument they were brothers. ---

Well, they’re pretty damn close to being identical. I think most people would assume they are brothers. ---

Something I’ve noticed is that some people seem to be unable to tell twins apart and some people can barely tell they’re twins, no matter how similar they look. I’ve never met twins that I thought looked identical. Those two football players didn’t look very similar to me. ---
