Oh, and you had to buy from their store, where they were selling wide-screen TVs, over-priced computers and "authentic" leather beds.
So, they're aiming it at people with no money, a history of bad debt, a taste for stupidly expensive things, and no idea that 30% interest rates are a mindnumbingly horrible rip-off
They should all be fucking shot repeatedly through the head.

When it's been twenty years or so since the last major dip in an economy, a lot of the young (and not so young) think things are going to stay the same or just keep getting better. Which kinda assumes humans have evolved more smarts in just twenty years, but I haven't noticed it...
