Wikileaks in MasterCard parody

By Scott Thompson

First, hactivists took down MasterCard’s website in protest at the continuing blockade of funds for WikiLeaks. And now the organisation has released a Mastercard commercial parody featuring none other than Julian Assange.

A call for donations, it ends with the words: 'There are some people who don't like change, for everyone else there's WikiLeaks.' It also notes that the group is spending $1 million fighting law suits and $500,000 on Assange's house arrest and slams MasterCard for withholding $15 million in support donations.

The poster writes about the video: "What do MasterCard, Visa, Bank of America, Paypal and Western Union all have in common? They help you pay for what you want? Well, yes... that is unless you want to help WikiLeaks make the world a better place. To see the shocking details, please go to wikileaks.org/?support.html."
