    To be fair, I'm opposed to most acquisitions, as they lead to monopolies (whether through horizontal or vertical integration), which ultimately increase corporate profit at the expense of consumers. But I've always liked Ryan Reynolds, and this commercial is some of his best work. "Our incredibly improvised, and borderline reckless messaging strategy will also remain untouched." "Futilely craving some sort of illusory acknowledgment from my now-deceased father." If Mint sold a Blu-Ray of all their commercials, I would buy it, and I'm not a Mint customer. :p

The issue here is they'll likely raise prices in a year or two once everyone has forgotten. So lock in that 12 month and you at least have some time before having to jump ship.
