Hey you! Daniel!

American Express have this advertising campaign going on. Every time I open a newspaper or pass an Amex billboard, I do a double-take.

Amex advert in The Age

Perhaps this isn’t happening to people who are not called Daniel.

Please note: This Daniel does not recommend or endorse American Express products. They’d have to pay me first.

Every time I read that newspaper ad I shout ‘my names not Daniel you stupid American Express!’. I’d much prefer they called me by my number than an incorrect name.

I saw another financial ad in Heathrow airport and it had ‘the world according to Daniel’ on it. I don’t think it was AE though. I wonder if it’s a name the advertisers have determined is good for putting in ads.
