Hahaha that was quick. My girlfriend (owns an ad agency) is pitching a very similar strain of ad to a few of the major banks around here. Most of them are jumping at the idea, so we may make some pretty good money off this crisis.

Every single ad I hear is how they didn't screw up in this mess.

http://www.texaslending.com/ <--- "never had to buy back 1 home mortgage loan"

Wells Fargo <--- "Is one of the biggest banks and has a trillion in reserve and just bought wachovia"

http://www.dmautoleasing.com <--- "The auto leasing industry is still alive"

There is more but those are the biggest ones in rotation I am hearing on the radio. I have never heard so many bank type ads, ever. Believe it or not its rather convincing.

Own it like you own a $2333.00 car that you owe $2300.00 on.
