Credit card companies find more and more creative ways to lure in new customers – cashback rebates, frequent flyer miles, gift cards, even free iPods. But a new card “busting” on to the scene threatens to make the others look small by comparison.
Bank of National Credit’s new Plastic Assets credit card is enticing customers with the promise of larger, fuller breasts. That’s right. Each purchase with the Plastic Assets card brings the cardholder one step closer to free breast implants.
“Invest in Your Breasts” is the card’s slogan, and it gives customers the opportunity to do so at four different credit levels: B, C, D, and, naturally, DD.
While some may think Plastic Assets is in bad taste, testimonials on its website prove that it’s good business:
“My boyfriend, my friends, even my boss had been hassling me to do my chest for months, but I wasn’t sure,” says Dawn, 19, of Cincinnati. “I went from a B to a D in just three hours! Everyone was right. My life is forever changed. Thanks Plastic Assets!”
In the spirit of investigative reporting, we had an actor posing as a potential card customer fill out an online application for the Plastic Assets credit card. Alas, the website had been overloaded with requests and the application could not be processed.
Shocked by the Plastic Assets credit card? Don’t be. It’s all a put-on, with the entire site designed as an entry into left-leaning blog site Huffington Post’s Contagious Festival, a competition to find the most “contagious” piece of media submitted by artists, designers, and others with too much time on their hands.

And it's true, too! My own breast size has increased after using this CC! Of course, so has my butt. And my belly. Oh well.

This is really something new for me. I mean, this is the first time that I have encountered a credit card that offers this kind of thing.

What a weird deal. A credit card with free breast implants? Though I assume that the company only wants the best for its cardholders, I just cannot fathom the idea that they're using plastic surgery as their promotional item and not the company's credible reputation. A bit sexist if I may say so.
