Orbs Discovered

We here at Haunted World knew it was only a matter of time before Wall Street and Madison Avenue cashed in on the ever-growing orb craze sweeping Main Street.
In a ground-breaking TV commercial (which premiered this past November) a college hipster goes on a stroll with Bright Idea, the glib Discover Card orb.Oddly, the character Bright Idea is seen by the skeptical collegiate as an untrustworthy shill for Discover Card, and the orb is forced to take a polygraph test in order to validate its claims of a Cashback Bonus of between 5% and 20%.
Interestingly, we never see if the golden orb actually passes the "lie detector" test.
As was done with the cavemen characters from the once-amusing GEICO car insurance commercials, a sitcom featuring the talkative golden orb is in the works at ABC in which Bright Idea is revealed to be the tormented soul of the long deceased father of the college hipster.
