AMEX Jumps on the Bandwagon

We would just like to give a shout-out to American Express OPEN for jumping on the llama/alpaca bandwagon and featuring alpacas in their newest commercial. AMEX is already llamasutra's preferred plastic (thanks for all those free flights on JetBlue!) and this earns them another star in their crown.

The ad opens with the line:

"Why is this sharp-dressed lawyer standing in a pen with alpacas?"

I don't know, but you've sure got my attention. (You'll have to tune in yourself for the answer.)

Kudos to the AMEX ad team for another clever, culturally-relevant commercial. I think it's safe to say that llamas/alpacas are 2010's trend animals. Let's check with the hipsters to be totally sure.

BTW- Happy June! Why not celebrate the warm weather and shear a llama?
