Who knew PayPal had a sense of humor?
The online payment giant is attempting to create some buzz for its Cash for Registers program with this goofy video, a spoof of Law & Order and other cop shows that features a couple of detectives attempting to answer the question: "Who killed the cash register?"
Best supporting actor role should go to the cash register, which manages to be deadpan throughout.
PayPal announced Cash for Registers last month. The program waives credit, debit, check and PayPal processing fees for the rest of the year in exchange for "dusty old cash registers." The initiative is PayPal's latest attempt to compete with others in the space -- notably Square.
PayPal is expected to announce more components to the program later this month.
