@joe: Thanks for pointing the commercial is actually a Master Card commercial. My bad.

However, I updated the post to include a link to the Visa USA ‘Tis The Season web site, where you can play their “Holiday Ad Lib’s Quiz”. Still, they don’t say the word Christmas.

Thanks again for the comment and for stopping by.

You are a little off, you are saying “Think about it, they will not say “Christmas” in the United States but will sponsor Christmas decorations with the word Christmas plastered all over it in Singapore.” But the commercial you showed is a Master Card Commercial not a visa card.

Yes they do.

Another un-PC thing is on the travel documents that you fill out on the plane, in red bold letters, they tell you “drug traffickers will by put to death.” And somehow you get the feeling they mean it.
