Have any of you noticed how in Gossip Girl #9, American Express is mentioned about 6 times?
It is SO ANNOYING
"Nate wondered if the resteraunt accepted American Express" etc etc...
"Blair tossed her black American Express card"
AMERICAN ****ING EXPRESS! AHGH
Okay so it's pretty obvious that there a lot of brands paying Cecily Von Ziegesar to mention them in her books but... Come on... This American Express mentioning is out of control. It is so noticable and really ruins the book.
What, do they think we want our minds filled with all of this junk!? Sure, mention some luxury brands yeah yeah... We all like reading about designer brands as its fun but, a credit card? Give it a break..
I say **** it. If they want to insult my intelligence by name dropping credit cards they can get ****ed. I want to read stories, not be attacked by the media even when I'm trying to relax.
It's just pathetic. Like she dosn't make enough money from the books alone. Trying to brainwash us.
