Lifelock Brainblock

First sued by Experian and now a class action suit.

"LifeLock buries the truth beneath a pile of inconsistencies and disclaimers so deep that we believe the intent is to mislead consumers so they don't make claims."

Most of the services LifeLock performs can be done by consumers on their own.

Wow! I wonder how Rush Limbaugh will feel about this? A long while back Pat Boone got sued because he advertised a defective product - even though he was hired to do so and had no interest in the company .....

Why is there a need for Lifelock? Could it be McCains Illegals?

Consumers can lock their own credit simply by calling the Big 3 Credit Reporting Agencies and get the same level of protection without the cost of LifeLock.

I don't know that those agencies would charge, but I bet it doesn't require a continuous monthly charge?

I'll have to investigate. ...or does someone already know?

I still don’t understand the concept of “identity theft”.

Someone pretends to be me, and you give him some money? Sounds like you got suckered, buddy. What exactly do you expect me to do about it? Pay for your mistake?

The folly is in not requiring proof of identity. (Do numbers and letters really prove I’m so-and-so?) The onus of this foolishness should be on the lender. Who came up with the lame-brained idea that it should land at my feet?!

I gave my bank some money for safe-keeping. If they can’t even verify the identity of someone making a withdrawal, clearly my money is safer in a coffee can buried in my backyard.

My first thought. If he doesn't say something...he'll lose a knotch with me.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but as far as earworms go, that’s actually one of the wittier ones.

“lookin’ fly an’ rollin’ PHAT” this is why white guys shouldn’t try to rap. Yeah, we should bury these guys alongside the cavemen...IMHO.

Knotch? Did you knot mean notch? You must have had a long knight.

Isn’t the jingle more a takeoff on “rockabilly” than rap?

“The fine print in this $1 million guarantee is so limiting, we think it is almost worthless,”

So, they are suing because they didn’t read the fine print? Just the so called mortgage meltdown today. People should be relieved of their mortgage oblibations because they are too stupid to read the fine print. Let them suffer.

Those commercials are painful to watch.

It would be less painful to watch Helen Thomas getting a leg wax.

Wait a minute - let me rethink that one...

They say a man should always dress, for the job he wants.
So why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant.
It's all because some hacker stole my identity
Now I'm working in this restaurant serving chowder and iced tea

Should'a gone to FreeCreditReport dot com (yeehah!)
Then this would not have hit me, like an atom bomb
They'll monitor your credit and send you free email alerts
So you don't end up working here for tourists in T-shirts. :-)
