New ETrade commercials about getting mad at the "1%"

E*Trade Stokes Rage Against the 1% in Remarkable Ads From MullenLowe – Adweek

Funny watching these, especially after reading Unscripted . The basic premise of the ads are

• your boss is a dick, imagine a Gatsby-esque lifestyle, go on ETrade
• that dipshit in high school got a boat, sucks to be you, go invests
• first class isn't for you unless you throw some money at the stock market

These ads make my brain hurt.

Also, I love howon YouTube comments are disabled. They know they're full of sh*t

What they tell you: "The dumbest guy in highschool just got a boat!"
What they don't tell you: "99 others funded their accounts with credit cards, lost it all, and now have to work for decades to pay it off!"

If it's a blow up boat, the ad is funny.
