OK, who really thinks these things work? Silhouetted dancing cowboys and aliens, people caught dancing on video, what the hell do these things have to do with getting a mortgage? If you're gonna drop 6 figures on a house, do you do research or find the first viral ad you can find?

They're designed for easily amused idiots looking for a house.
I remember a real creepy one - a superfat chick dancing with a skinny guy... it was like a car accident, you couldn't help but look.

I like the dancing alien.

Well, not really. WTF does an alien have to do with my mortgage?
Wait! There's one in a bikini now!

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

When I see ads like that, it makes me wonder who has sh|t for brains; the person designing the ad or the person that would click on it.

If they didn't work, we wouldn't see them. That's the real scary thing.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

I actually like the ones of the girls dancing at work, who then turn around and look shocked to find someone filming them.
That's not to say I would ever be stupid enough to take out a 30 year mortgage from some company that used that as advertising. But I'll still look at it.
