Visa and Tom's of Maine suffer at the hands of Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert is a friend to product integration—just ask Doritos, Wikipedia and Dr Pepper. But Visa and Tom's of Maine didn't fare so well during The Colbert Report on Tuesday night. Colbert, tongue in cheek, attacked an ad for the Visa Black card as just another sign of Age of Obama discrimination against white folks like himself. He was outraged! He took a line from one of the ads, "The Visa Black card is not for everyone," as a slight, and came up with a new tagline: "Visa. It's everywhere you want to be. Unless that place is a Jimmy Buffett concert."
  He also took a swipe at Tom's of Maine, the line of all-natural products, when he showed a clip of Obama talking about the economy shedding 598,000 jobs recently—the equivalent of every job in the state of Maine. "No, not Maine!" Colbert said as a picture of Tom's popped up. "Then where would we get our deodorant that doesn't work?"
