if i have the whale, then i'm king

So there's this really annoying commercial that I've been seeing lately. It's for Visa, or Visa check cards to be exact. The one with a cafe full of mindless drones (workers and shoppers) sent into total meltdown panic because one drone has the audacity to use cash. Whatever they may say the message is, I say the real message is revealed in the look of withering contempt the clerk shoots at the cash-user at the end. Cash is for losers. Sometimes I feel like reality is rapidly turning into Neuromancer. And to further confirm that in the future cash will only be used by losers, the underclass, and the shadow economies, there's this article from today's NYTimes. Bonus points for reinforcing outdated gender stereotypes.
