HEY! Have you guys seen that commercial with Tom Brady?
I offer a synopsis for those who haven't been lucky enough to catch it yet.

Tom Brady (New England Patriots quarterback, "Captain America") is buying something with his Visa card and is surrounded by his offensive linemen in uniform. They are a "metaphor" for the 5 layers of security his Visa card offers. One of them sort of tries to hit on his date at dinner. Metaphors don't pay the tab though.

Has ANYONE else seen this? Am I the only one to have seen this limited run commercial? What are the odds that I got to see it?

8. A bunch of times...
The guy hitting on the date sounds really creepy, but the hands-on-shoulders by the computer is funny...

9. I have seen it about a dozen times.
Perhaps it does not run in markets where only a few people know the definition of the word "metaphor".

12. I've seen it multiple times in Charlotte, NC - it's nationwide.
So-so commercial. I'm not sure what the big deal is...

13. I've seen it.......
...but it's unrealistic because I didn't see any holding going on in that commercial.
