Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

You really have to see this documentary if you haven't already. The amazing world of credit and how so many Americans are caught in a credit crisis by predatory lending is an amazing story. I came away from this saddened at how easy it is to fall into debt that can ruin your life. Watch the trailer.

"Death will be the only debt relief for millions of Americans."

That's a pretty profound and sad statement about the richest country in the world, isn't it?

Everywhere you go companies are willing to give you a line of credit like your some big dick at a Vegas casino. I don't know what is more pathetic; the fucking corporations trapping people with loan shark caliber interest rates or the dumb assess that take the bait. Fuck, people are stupid.

I think the most disturbing part of that documentary was when they demonstrated how a clearly retarded 40-something year-old man was barely able to sign his name, but still got a loan he couldn't afford. It's not just the "dumbasses," it's also people with crap ethics and no morals.

anonymous,
Was the retarded guy McTool?
I've told him countless times to stay away from creditors and people wanting to sell him magic beans but he just refuses to listen.

dumbass... I am the loan shark. Speaking of, you wanna pay the vig and keep the meter running or you wanna finally pay me the money you owe me?

Times up on Friday. Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.
