Why do credit card commercials show credit cards getting swiped upside down?

The magnetic stripe is on the rear top, but credit card commercials typically show the card getting passed through a machine numbers-down.





This has bothered me for years.|||That's to show the card at its best, with the logo right-side-up.|||For the same reason an ice cream commercial is actually filmed using scoops of mashed potatoes ... because it looks better on camera.|||Good to know that you're thinking big thoughts.
