Putting on the Dog

[southerngale]

Clifford J. Dawg, a dog, recently got a Platinum MasterCard with a spending limit of $1,500. Clifford's owner, Steve Borba of Livermore, Calif., set up a free e-mail account and registered it to his pug. Clifford soon got a letter from a major bank telling him he'd been pre-approved for a credit card. Borba sent back the application, saying Mr. Dawg worked at a "Pupperoni Factory" and his mother's maiden name was "Pugsy Malone." He even added a note that said "You are sending an application to a dog! Ha ha ha." The card came in the mail, anyway. Borba called the bank to cancel it, but the person on the other end of the line was vastly amused and started discussing using the incident in a commercial. "Dogs don't chase us - we chase them," The bank representative reportedly suggested as a slogan.

He had better make sure he doesn't give the card to the dog, then let the dog loose in Petco.
