YouTube - Gary Coleman loses his mind plugging Cashcall

YouTube - Gary Coleman for cashcall.com, this time he can't drive.

Notice how there is a 99.25% interest rate. These commercials, especially the first link I gave, are really bizarre and depressing.

"Nobody would lend me money, not even my relati--hahaHAha! HAHAHAHA!"

If you use Cashcall, please kill yourself. You will be far better off.

Are there people that desperate? Or that stupid?

There must be or they would not have made more than one commercial.

I wonder how the interest rate is disclosed when people call?

Predatory lenders that have become so popular lately have sunk below insurance companies on my esteem list.

You borrow $2600.

You pay back $9095.12

Wow. Just wow. I wonder how it feels like to bottom feed on human misery.

Our biggest client used to be one of these companies. I can't say that I'm sad to see them go, even if they did pay our bills. (We had to lay off half our staff because of them going though )

Yeah, I caught that commercial late at night. I had no idea why he was laughing.

That is horrible. I wonder if they use the rule of 78's. That would even suck more.

And I thought the *mob* had bad terms.

Do these people send out Frankie Knuckles and the Kneebreakers as well if you don't pay up?

LEt me ask you a question: Why did you take them on in the first place? I don't mean to give you a hard time, this is a question I've often asked myself. Where would we draw the line?

Well, you'll have to ask my boss about that, but I'm pretty sure the answer is some sort of number with a dollar sign in front.

I saw the one the other night...really bizarre! I was hoping I wasn't the only one that noticed how weird those commercials are! "No one would lend me money, AHAHAHAHA!" as he's sitting in a car and can't even see over the steering wheel, then slams on the gas and wrecks the car. Weird marketing.
