Yeah it's for Bank One which has been running this theme of having some horde of nasties acting as the bane's of other credit card services; the best of which was perhaps the first one which showed a medieval Northenr Euro-horde, reminiscient of "Braveheart", surrounding a presumably doomed victim until he reveal's his Bank One card and every last one of this maruanding horde just heaves a chorus of disappointed moans and groans for being cheated of their conquest with the recurrent punchline of a loan barbarian looking directly at you demanding "And what's in your wallet". It's a screamer right out of Monty Python.

But this new one , with the marauding flock of Yeti , has one delivering that last punchline in a particularly jarring manor as it dog-sleds for a close-up. Reminded me more of Himalayan Moorlocks from that early 1960's version of H.G.Wells "The Time Machine".

I guess Madison Ave. is geting closer to the Halloween marketing season. I mean it must be Halloween because the stores are beginning to display the Christmas decorations.
