Thank you, President Obama, for this:

Credit Card Law Will Curb FreeCreditReport.com Ads

Now, hopefully this will mean these awful commercials will go away. But there’s always a shot that we’ll get more commercials with the annoying singing guy followed by two minutes of disclaimers — just like the drug commercials — but with the disclaimers sung by the annoying singing guy.

    does anyone remember the third or fourth of those commercials where the guy is pretending to be rich and is throwing a party until you find out that he’s the waiter? did anyone else think to themselves ‘awe, I’m glad he made it?’

    That must have been the fourth, because I remember the other three quite well.

    Many gay men will miss the freecreditreport.com ads, believe it or not. A lot of my gay buddies, and me too, find that guy really cute. Strange, I know, but he seems to be pretty popular in this circle.

  • BlueFan

    I’m probably in the minority, but I actually find those commercials pretty amusing. Slightly annoying, but amusing.Plus the guy is cute……. ;-)

    I have a certain appreciation for poppy jingles, which makes me partial to those ads, even if he isn’t really singing the songs. I like ‘em. There, I said it.

    Goddamn.

    I thought they were assault weapons ads. Yes, I’m a harsh music critic.

    Wow, I wasn’t even aware that there is an annoying metro/gay? dude singing for freecreditreport.com (one of the benefits of living abroad) but as I recall, the ‘free’ in the name is false advertising, man. And that’s a Goddamn steaming pile of shit being passed off as a fudge brownie!

    Those credit reports are only free after you spend $12.95 a month for credit monitoring.

    You can actually get a free credit report by going to AnnualCreditReport.comIt’s legit. You’re entitled to a free credit report from each agency once a year or after receiving a letter regarding your credit history if you’ve applied for a loan or card.

    I’m with BlueFan. He’s cute and I want to see his, uh, “credit score”, if you know what I mean…

  • mrspeel

    Granted, the FreeCreditReport.com ads DO grate ones nerves, but the “annoying singing guy” is SO CUTE. I’m gonna miss him!

    I like these commercials. I will miss the Renaissance Festival ones.

  • Texican

    Sorry…I can’t stand these commercials and will switch channels whenever they come on.

    I would even more pleased if the law included an executive order for the public caning of the curly-headed guy. This’ll do though.
