The latest spoof on a classic MasterCard ad campaign comes from one of the credit card company’s best known adversaries. “There are some people who don’t like change,” ends the short video that was recently posted to Vimeo. “For everyone else, there’s WikiLeaks.”
On-screen text encourages people to learn more about the financial blockade that a number of major financial institutions announced they would instate in December. According to the video, these companies’ refusal to process any of WikiLeaks’s payments has cost the group $15 million in lost donations. “What do MasterCard, Visa, Bank of America, Paypal and Western Union all have in common?” reads the video’s description.”They help you pay for what you want? Well, yes… that is unless you want to help WikiLeaks make the world a better place.”
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who has been under house arrest in Britain since December when Sweden issued an extradition request on accusations of sexual misconduct, makes a cameo appearance. By its own calculations, WikiLeaks is spending $500,000 on his house arrest and $1 million in legal fees. The video directs supporters toward alternate donation methods (some of these methods, The Atlantic points out, do not support WikiLeaks’s greater goals, but rather Assange’s legal expenses). Because, it argues, “change as a result of your work: priceless.”
