Believable advertising before 2001?!

Ray:

I'm also not a supporter of the outgoing administration, but to call them Neonazis and suggest that they are responsible for deceptive advertising (which has existed for much longer than the past eight years, you short-sighted dimwit) only reveals your own ignorance and prejudice.

I want you to know that it is OK to use your brain before posting inflammatory rants. Your current posting serves primarily to make you look foolish - probably not your intended result.

Free Credit Report Dot Com!!!

Don't we all love the "Free Credit Report dot Com" ads with the dude with the credit from hell and his buds singing songs lamenting their stupidity??? Very entertaining except there is nothing free about "FreeCreditReport.com" because yet again, the small print says with enrollment in "triple advantage" a credit monitoring plan which will cost the debt laden even more while they collect and sell your contact information to the highest bidder!!! There has never been a free lunch with anything which is advertised since advertising costs money and nobody will advertise something with no return. Before the neonazi neocons invaded the White House, America had truth in advertising laws yet now we only have an open range of deceit!!! So much for progress!!!
