If he'd known that his "credit was whack," what difference would it have made?

[Orrex]

He'd still have wound up with the "used sub-compact," would he not?

:shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

1. However, if it were whack due to old or incorrect information, he could have it corrected.

After said correction, he would theoretically be able to buy a nicer ride.

That's why it's a good idea to get your credit reports annually.

[Orrex]

2. Ah. Good point!

But you'd think that between buying the used POS and getting his job at The Pirates' Cove, he'd have learned his lesson and gone to the damned website.

[GOPisEvil]

3. Yep - he also married his dream girl and HER credit was whack.

He's not the brightest bulb on the string.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. And now he's serving iced tea to tourists in tshirts.

Very sad.

[GOPisEvil]

5. It's affected his friends.

His posse is being laughed at.

[Critters2]

8. And living in his in-laws' basement.

It moves one to tears.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

6. I don't think I've ever seen that one

Is it the same guy?

[GOPisEvil]

7. ...

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

12. Nope - they have not shown that one in the DFW market

At least on MSNBC - maybe it's been shown on other stations.

[yellowdogintexas]

27. oh yes they have shown that one here, that is the first one I actually

saw. It ran incessantly on CNN which was the locked in TV station in the break rooms at work.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

37. Okay - all we ever watch is MSNBC, and they didn't show that one

We don't watch any local TV, so it may have been on there.

[ET Awful]

21. I always thought he was kind of an asshole in that one . . . he wouldn't have married her if he knew

she had bad credit? Does he lover her or her credit score?

And if he could have bought a home as a bachelor, can't he do the same married and just put it in his name?

What kind of dumbass is this dude?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

28. Yeah I thought the same thing.

So his woman had some prior credit problems. Big deal...what 20 something college grad doesn't?

[EnviroBat]

30. Plus, she was Fiiiinnnnneeee!

I'd have married her despite her whacked credit. Just as long as she would "whack" me occasionally...

[Blue_Tires]

34. +1.... some tangible assets simply override a bad credit rating...

that commercial wins

[realisticphish]

9. it's sad

but i know all the words to the pirate and car ones :D

[Critters2]

11. I know all three. I have no life. nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. For me, none.

I'd still think he was cute.

[Kutjara]

15. Just for you:

http://www.ericviolette.com/

:hi:

[CreekDog]

13. he would know that everything matched

:dilemma:

[mikeytherat]

14. Ironic that the Geo Metro he's driving is now in vogue.

"Laugh all you want - I get 40 m.p.g."

mikey_the_rat

[Roon]

25. My ex bought a geo metro awhile back

he paid $500.00 for it. Since then someone offered him a $1,000 for it.

[mikeytherat]

36. I bought a "beatermobile" (winter car) - 1995 Ford Escort wagon - four

years ago, also for $500. It is actually in great shape, gets 33/41 mpg, and sees a LOT more use than I thought it would. I have also been offered in excess of $1,000 for it!

[WinkyDink]

16. OMG, BEST commercial on TV!! "And my posse's getting laughed at"!

Second-best is the Singing Garden Gnome.
Bronze = "There ain't no bugs on me."

(Yes, I DO watch a lot of TV!)

[meow2u3]

17. He paid cash

Car dealers don't finance old, beat-up cars.

[terrya]

18. It's a shame because he's kind of cute.

Yes, I am THAT shallow.

[Carnea]

19. Look we know he is stupid

He pays 20 bucks a month for a "free" credit report.

[Iggo]

23. F-R-E-E...That spells twenty bucks?

Oh, say it ain't so.

Next you'll be telling me NetZero charges more than zero dollars.

[Carnea]

33. the zero in Netzero refers to speed nt

[ET Awful]

20. I've often thought the same thing. n/t

[flvegan]

22. I thought that he had gone shopping for a convertible or SUV

and did so believing his credit was good. That was not to be, but needing transport, he wound up with the best his whack credit could afford him.

[Zavulon]

24. In the restaurant commercial, he "could have seen this coming at me like an atom bomb."

I'd like to know exactly what this asshole could have done if he were to detect an atom bomb coming towards him.

By the way, as for the commercial you're referring to: I'm not a violent guy, but at the end when he's sitting in his car and bobbing his head back and forth, I really want to smack the shit out of him on general principle.

[Blue_Tires]

35. of course all bombs make that loud, dropping-whistle-sound-effect

they do in cartoons...and if you look down, you can see this clearly-lined bomb-shaped shadow getting larger...lalz

[Giant Robot]

26. I'm embarassed to say

That Little Robot dances and bounces to that commercial every time it comes on.

[EnviroBat]

29. Yep, and it'd be finacnced for around 19% for 66 months...

Free Credit Report is NOT FREE. And those guys a dorks.

[redqueen]

31. Oh sweet tapdancing Christ do I hate those commercials.

What a shallow little prick his character is.

[EnviroBat]

32. No lie. the old lady in that chowder restaurant is my grandma...
