Rejected by Capital One

It turns out that we don’t have too many chickenmonkeydog fans over at Capital One.

A while ago they started a program to allow card users to “customize” their credit card by putting a picture of their own on the card.  Of course I seized the opportunity to get a credit card showing my chickenmonkeydog colors.  The design I submitted was this:

Much to my chagrin, Capital One REJECTED my design! They said:

We will not approve any images that contain the following:

Images of flags prominently displayed. (Our gallery contains flag related imagery – please review those images if you are interested in having a flag on your card)

Now, ever since we discovered the association with the Republic of Chad, we knew that chickenmonkeydog shared the colors with a national flag.  Does that really mean nobody can use the same colors in the same order for anything else?

  1. I’m tearing up my Capital One credit card in protest!

    Not really…but I wanted to show my support somehow.

    How ’bout I just call the customer service number and hang up when someone finally connects to my call?
