I * puffy heart * the FCR-dot-com commercials, especially the lead, even though he's French Canadian and they have to dub him, but geez louise, honey, read the fine print. "A college student in Wisconsin"; give me strength. This is why you go to college. It's called "learning critical thinking."
OK, OK. There should probably be something done about deceptive commercials. But who on earth believes anything at all that they see on a commercial??
And I really wish that they'd up the quality of their newer commercials. I had great hopes for the Renaissance Faire players in tights, but it was so lame.
I agree but everyone knows those commercials. They are very effective in that sense.
I catch myself singing those dumb lyrics. (A symptom of a simple mind I suppose).

I forget who said it, but the quote is, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."
i LOVE those ads, and i sing them a lot. makes the family batty. but oh well.
i, too, am surprised by the number of educated intelligent people fall for the fact that its not really free. and then they want someone else to fix it or pay in some way. again....what ever happened to responsibilty?? When I do something stupid i slap my forehead and cry out "Doh!" I don't walk around pointing fingers.
I personally think the ads are deceptive. Why not have more clarity on what that "free" report is costing? It wouldn't hurt anything...except their bottom line.
I'm not advocating lack of taking responsibility, but this is deceptive.
To those that are surprised people think they will actually get something for free, get real. People think they are getting something free all the time.... buy a house with zero down, zero interest, zero job..... what else could be simpler? If people fall for the big stuff, they are like putty for smart marketeers on the small stuff. I've said it before ..... Americans are financial dunderheads.
