Maybe some of Direct Buy’s ubiquitous endorsers, whose integrity is all they’ve got, should look into this issue before saying something like “you would be a fool to buy a car for 30 when you can get it for 20.”
Mr., Dr., Secretary, Whizzbag, Academic Snob, Bill Bennett said that.
Or something very close to it, about Direct Buy.
I thought Bennett’s pitch was a little “in my face” at the time, but ignored the very slight offense I took as a mere license of capitalism.
I think they changed that ad recently, but Bennett should have a more temperate approach when renting his integrity to an enterprise that, maybe, he has failed to check out diligently. His ads for Bulova watches are excellent, though.
Laura Ingraham needs to listen up, too. Laura is obviously brilliant, and she is usually able to project a populist view. I think that’s where lot’s of her radio appeal comes from. She is on thinner ice than others who endorse a rip off outfit.
Of course, I am not a member of DB so this is all my opinion and speculation based on these reports - it may suit me fine.
But...it is odd that I have never ever heard anyone saying anything at all about DB, good or bad, given its airplay. Maybe, (former) members are reluctant to admit they got took. Usually, if folks paid less for something than you did, you never hear the end of it.
But, I respect Bennett and Laura, so their continued endorsements of this company will worry me if I keep hearing stories like those above.
The stories don’t surprise me, though. The ads always seemed too earnest and full of pressure to entice me, not that I have not been suckered before. I have.
But, I don’t want a new kitchen, car (not that DB sells cars, I don’t think it does), hammock, or grill. I will buy two pairs of shoes this weekend. I am going to get a brown pair and a black pair as soon as I can decide on colors.
Man..you got that right...after reading some of the complaints it really burns me that Savage has the gall to call people "schmucks" if they don't call DB.
I like listening to him sometimes but I would never use any of the products he endorses after hearing his ensorsement of DB.
