Citicards Promotion and Nickelback--the worst prize ever.

Citicards is running a promotion involving a "once in a lifetime" chance to win a three-night tour with Nickelback. What's worse (if that's possible) is the ad involving the promotion: Two guys, who are "seat movers," apparently feel the need to constantly move from the nosebleed section to better, empty seats throughout the arena until they find themselves on the floor, next to two hot girls. A big, stereotypical bouncer then finds them and hilarity ensues.

I have several problems with this commercial. First of all, no two men would ever willingly go to a Nickelback concert together. Seriously, it wouldn't happen. It is, for lack of a better word, queer. Van Halen, Springsteen, Metallica, sure, but Nickelback...no. In fact, no male would go to a Nickelback concert at all, unless extenuating circumstances existed, such as: a) a really desperate attempt to get into a girl's pants; b) he was tone deaf with a strange attraction to talentless Candian hacks; or c) he was infected with a rare biological disease and the only cure would be to subject the bacteria to meaningless, forgettable, poseur-rock at a very high volume. That's it.

And its not just one concert, but you have to hang out with them for 3 whole days. Jesus. Maybe Citi could run a more appealing promotion next year. For instance, a "once in a lifetime chance" to be circumcised with a rusty butter knife?
