What has always intrigued me is that commercials can be split up into a few catagories. 1. Debt consolidation, which you covered very well. 2. Vice. Mostly offshore gambling and phone sex lines. Also girls gone wild. 3. Military. I always thought it was really sly to show military recruiting commercials at 3am on Cartoon network. Lack of money, lack of companionship and lack of something to do. People in the wee hours of the morning are not trying to solve your problems, they are just trying to make a buck. Don't include the military in that though. They are trying to protect us and I really appriciate each and every soldier, even if they were recruited between episodes of Scooby Doo.

Are you up at 3am watching this commercial? If so, you aren't working hard enough! No need to call us, just go to sleep and get a job tomorrow!" :) “Are you in debt?
