Who is the girl that gets dressed up in the video? Anyone know her name?

It's not "Niki Haris Visa Commercial 2007" is it?

Can't be...Reading the title bar would just be too easy 😕

Google indicates that Niki Harris is the black chick.

wtf are you talking about?

eakers was saying how the commercial encouraged going into debt to make yourself happy. I was saying maybe the visa that was paying for everything belonged to Niki Haris, the singer.
 
Hmm, Emily Morris looks different and not as hot. You sure that's her?

Nvm, I noticed that there were multiple links.

Wow, the message that commercial sends is horrible.

If you are sad, be happy! Just go shopping! Go into debt!

If you're persuaded to go shopping and spend more then you take home by a Visa commercial, then you deserve to be in debt.

I am just so sick of the media portraying women this way. It is shallow and not right. It sends the wrong kinds of messages to young women.

The media (like any producer) doesn't feed its consumers anything they won't buy

just because the media has conditioned these gender stereotypes into people doesn't mean that they have to continue it.

eta: it also doesn't make it okay for them to continue it

Yes, he just said "hot chick"

Some black chicks are hot to me...

Ah, I see now. A gift from Niki Haris and therefore no one is really going into debt. So the commercial is encouraging young women to go become friends with musical talent? 😀

The media didn't create these stereotypes. People had these stereotypes and the media used them to make money.

No, I said the hot chick who got dressed up. The black chick had the same clothes on the whole time.
 
good pic

attractive, not hot, and that's probably the most flattering picture of her.
in the commercial, she is not attractive. Her hair is better down with it covering some of her forehead, not pulled back. Plus the dress was ugly as hell.
