WoW Visa card; simultaneously affluent and embarassing photo

I admit, I spend a lot of time in Azeroth.

Since the launch of World of Warcraft, I've spent more time killing murlocs and collecting Dark Iron Ore than I've spent in a stable relationship, and after all that time, I still can't imagine why the hell I just told you all that.

Blizzard, in conjunction with Visa, have decided to release a line of World of Warcraft themed credit cards, and they are exactly as awesome as you might imagine; that is, not at all.

The cards themselves do sport the same excellent artwork as anything else officially associated with the World, but they also radiate the sort of anti-eros that is usually reserved for dead animals and the backs of lupus patients. While your date might appreciate your desire to buy her a meal, a movie and a pony, she's almost certainly going to question your potential as a mate the moment you pull from your wallet a card emblazoned with the face of a Night Elf whose electronic simulacrum you've spent the last two years religiously abusing yourself to.

Can you loot a [WoW Credit Card] off the body of a "guy who sends you 50 credit applications a month"?

Unless they offer free WoW gameplay I fail to see the point. After all, why would you care about the card otherwise when other cards give cashback?

Not exactly.....

If you pull out an Alliance themed card, but she rolls Horde, you could end up with a drink in your face.

On a side note, I had a wonderfully crafted story about how your choice of card could blow a chance at sex. But dammit I'm hung over and can't make it work. Sorry.

I have never played WoW and don't intend to start (addictive personality, I already spend far too much time and money smoking drinking and gambling). The reason I am commenting is because I never thought I ever see the word simulucrum[sic] used so eloquently and spelt so wrongly. Nex you are my new hero.
