Maybe the dumbest fake testimonial ad I've ever seen.

(click ad, on Broadway near 21st) Yes, this impossible-to-impress commercial model who's probably never used a BofA ATM is "impressed" that she got paid to stand in a studio for maybe an hour giving the photographer, "impressed." Could even be a stock photo, who knows. Bank of America are experts at this crap. Previously in terrible fake testimonial ads:
• Waldbaum's.
• Julian Assange.
• fake dead kids.
• fake cancer patient.
• fake Microsoft customers.

they have these ads around san francisco too, they are "personalized" for the area, and they also totally fall flat. in fact the work is so bad and so bland i cant believe my agency doesnt have this account.
