Got shitty credit? No problem!
27 05 2007Amazing. I was just listening to the radio, and during one of the commercial breaks, was one of those obnoxious car commercials. You know the type, practically yelling, fast-talking - basically advertising designed for fucking idiots.
So…this commercial begins with a stand-up comedy clip that sounds a lot like Jeff Foxworthy doing his “you might be a redneck if..” routine. It may have been Jeff Foxworthy, but he’s a wanker, so I can’t be bothered to investigate further. Anyway, the wanker comedian says:
“If you’re banker avoids you when you’re walking down the street, you might have a credit problem.”
“If your car was repossessed last night, you might have a credit problem.”
Huh?
If your car was repo’d last night, you don’t need a new car today. You need a swift kick to the head, and maybe one to the groin to boot. Those truly desperate for transportation (i.e. buses and trains don’t go within 10 miles of where you have to be so that you can have shelter and your children have food) should buy a piece-of-crap beater that’ll let you get to work and sort your life out. The last thing you need is another jacked-up loan and a $400 car payment.
Commercials like that piss me off. It represents everything wrong with this and many other countries at the present time. “I want” is now “I need” and people can’t tell the fucking difference.
Yep. Preying on the poor—a great American economic strategy.
That and the lotto, huh? Although I think this is something that’s catching on in most Western nations. As for the lotto - thanks to those sending my kid to college via the HOPE scholarship…
Hell yeah! This post sounds really good. Reading your blog is useful and interesting. Keep it that way.
Comparing to what I’ve read about this before, it sounds absolutely impressing. I’m an old internet user, and have read a lot about this kind of stuff, but what I read here today is absolutely different.
