Credit Card Grim Reaper Ad (Joke/Proposed)

The Grim Reaper is processing dead people, each arriving with coins over their eyes, which he collects as payment for ferrying them to the afterlife. But one dead body arrives not with coins over the eyes, but with a credit card on her forehead (the woman looks to be maybe thirtysomething: too young to be dead), and the Grim Reaper picks the card up, thinks for a minute, and then has a brainwave: he wakes the person up, and they go on a fun-filled day, eating a nice lunch, shopping for shoes, going to the movies, and they charge everything to the card. And the Grim Reaper has so much fun that he decides to let the woman live, and she goes back home to her family. Then the announcer says the card has many rewards, and can have some unexpected benefits, bringing new life to your social life and shopping experience.

(Of course, the problem with this approach is that if the Grim Reaper has too much fun with this credit card experience, he may kill people early if they have this particular credit card so he can use it. But even so, this would make a fun Halloween ad for a credit card, I think; and it certainly would be different.)
