What Is Up With These?

September 30th, 2010 2 comments

While researching and downloading music last night I came across several sites that hosted advertisements offering impossible to resist home refinance offers. This one in particular caught my attention:

Who exactly are the target demographic for such an ad? Crazy ex-hippies, homeless house flippers, or fringe religious gurus in their declining years coming to grips with their own mortality?

Who needs a cute Gecko or a funny pitchman when you have a face like this?

Come on…this company can’t be serious.  Does this face convey “honesty” and “integrity”?  Perhaps this advertising campaign is based on an expensive in-depth psychological study that I’m just not aware of?  Of course it could be just another thing I’m not meant to understand
