What ad campaign is this image from?

Postby IanEye » Mon Dec 12, 2011 5:21 pm

I have noticed while watching MSNBC that a brief (less than 1 second) bit of footage of a masked man with electricity flowing through him, appears fairly regularly between ads. He is wearing the number 583 on his chest.

I understand that often times cable and satellite will put local ads on top of more generic national ads. If the local ad is a little too short, then the viewer will see the last little blip of the national ad before the program moves on.
But on MSNBC this phenomenon only seems to occur with this 583 skeleton guy.

Does anyone here recognize what ad campaign this image is from?

It's a commercial for a credit rating information provider. The point of the costume you saw was to illustrate that you have more than one kind of credit score and that even though you may believe your score is good you may not know about the other scores. Number 583 in the hockey mask is portraying the "bad" score(hence the hockey mask,implying he's evil/dangerous).

But instead, they want mass death.

ah, ok thanks.

it is very disconcerting to see only briefly, and then you go back to footage of Syria or a school shooting at VA Tech or something.

Where I live, I usually only see these credit score guys.

sorry for the distraction....
