Free Credit Report Dot Com

Okay, so i'm guessing that everybody with a television or a radio has heard a Free Credit Report Dot Com commercial, right? Has anybody ever actually stopped to listen to what they're saying? Take the dream girl one........"Well I married my dream girl, I married my dream girl, but she didn't tell me her credit was bad, so now instead of living in a pleasant suburb, we're living in the basement at her mom and dad's, no we can't get a loan, for a respectable home, just because my girl defaulted on some old credit card, if we'd gone to free credit report dot com, i'd be a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard." So here's the question for this one........would somebody actually call off an engagement or a wedding because one party has bad credit? Think about it...if somebody was deeply and madly in love, to his "dream girl", and he found out she had horrible credit, would he dump her because they can't buy a house jointly? Couldn't he just use his credit to get the house or the loan and have both make payments on it and sign a prenup? I mean come on, use some common sense! Then the pirate one "They say a man should always dress for the job he wants, so why'm i dressed up like a pirate in this restaraunt? It's all because some hacker stole my identity, now i'm in here every evening serving chowder and iced tea. Shoulda gone to free credit report dot com (Yehaw) i could've seen this coming at me like an atom bomb, they monitor your credit and send you email alerts, so you don't end up selling fish to tourists in T-shirts" OKay................so why is he working at a corny version of red lobster? Let's just say this guy has a MBA and somebody stole his identity....would he have to take on another job to pay off the debt or do you seriously think he'd get fired because his identity was stolen? This jingle implies that this was the only job he could get...so i don't get it! The last one, however, is a little more believable. "I was shoppin 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, credit report dot com baby" Okay, so bad credit caused him to get a crappy car.........would checking the website ahead of time helped him get a better car? If your credit stinks, your credit stinks, and there's nothing a report can do about it...so why would that change the fact he got a banged-up blue geo metro?

Those are my thoughts for the day....some inspired by a conversation with Yvonne at Huddle House at who knows what time at night. Whaddya think?
