Because he can’t attract any other advertisers for his piece of crud television show, that’s why.

Good catch.

There may be another line crossed beyond Usury. It could be simple loan sharking. A RICO lawsuit might be the order of the day, by some scum sucking lawyer who wants to make money bringing down Chrissy Wussy Matthews...

Usury laws? Shouldn't be. They're bad policy based on the just price fallacy.

I’ve seen it in San Antonio Texas so it isn’t a local ad

42-monthly payments of $216.55 + $75.00 fee = $9170.10 payment for a $2,600 loan.

Democrats are evil for pushing such advertising on the downright stupid Democrats who watch.

I’ve never understood how people could fall for those things. It never made any sense to me. Never.

However, it sounds like a helluva business to start! :D

Thanks for confirming that this was a national ad. You saw it today, yes?

What’s the difference between Usury and “loan sharking”? I thought the rate was what made “loan sharking” illegal.

Maybe somebody has a sticky "9" key? There was the thread here earlier about colleges putting high schoolers through remedial courses. Maybe they need a better proofreader?
