F-R-E-E, that spells free. Credit report dot-com, baby. Saw their ads
my TV. Thought about going, but was too lazy..." Ugh. This French-
Canadian comedian Eric Violette lipsyncs his way though the ad. But
the one where he's driving around with his guy friends..... he's
CLEARLY wearing a wedding ring, so what gives? He's making a pretty
*major* purchase like a car and he does w/ a bunch of his dipshit
friends acting like aging college boys (the kind of shit Conan O'Brien
is FULL that he's bringing w/ him to L.A. when he moves to 11:35 in
'09). Maybe he got married after the basement ad, got divorced after
buying a crappy car and cruising for tail and ended up losing his
shirt, so that's why he wears the puffy pirate shirt and sings in a
fish-'n'-chips restaurant.
Let's discuss this in depth or *anything* BUT the name of the service,
which is opposite of the company's goal (to get you to remember their
lame-ass ads and think of their corporate name). I think he should be
dragged out of his crappy used car or out of that restaurant, thrown
the ground and kicked in the balls. Thoughts?

Its a Geo Metro and he keeps popping the clutch wrong.

Well I was shopping for a new car; which one’s me? A cool convertible
or an SUV? Too bad I didn’t know my credit was whack, ‘cause now I’m
drivin’ off the lot in a used sub-compact. F-R-E-E, that spells free.
Crdit report dot-com, baby. Saw their ads on my TV. Thought about
goin’, but was too lazy. Now instead of looking fly and rolling PHAT,
my legs are sticking into the vinyl and my posse’s getting laughed at.
F-R-E-E, that spells free. credit report baby dot-com, baby. (male

Typical messed-up justice system. By comparison, I could kill someone
and only get life in prison...

Ah yes, another one of their ads that makes no sense. he goes to buy a car
and ends up with a piece of garbage. However, if he used the service to
find out his credit score, guess what...he would still only be able to buy a
piece of garbage.
Knowing your credit score does not make it go up and more than having
someone steal your identity forces you to pay the bills they run up. The
commercials make no sense.
David
Maybe he can't get a good payment plan on the car he wants? And on the
work one maybe his employer ran a background check and doesn't want
someone financially irresponsible.
Oh well. I've already given this commercial more thought than I could
ever want to. And what's wrong with tourists in t-shirts anyway? Is
this company elitist? What are tourists supposed to wear??

And over here you wouldn't be executed, so you could keep on posting
Mr. Berman's next-morning cheery op-eds forever and ever and ever. :D
Oh, yeah, and he usually sneaks in some kind of ratings in addition.
But it's great that he follows 'Survivor' so closely. Yeah. Great.
David
Yep. For all you people know, I may be in prison for murder right
now!!

I'd give you a carton of Player's Light (Canadian inside joke tee-hee)
to off Canada's most notorious killer. So sickening is he, I can't
even say his name. I'd love to see that guy killed, brought back to
life just to be killed again... and again... and again.
