I want to disagree with you, but tastes differ. Sample at least your post titled Follow your dreams, if you want to be pilloried …….

While I enjoy these commercials, I’ve had a similar response to this. I know quite a few Ren Fair workers and they are all well educated and highly talented. And my family attends these fairs multiple times each year. And we certainly don’t fall in the stereotyped demographic represented by this commercial.

That said – I think these commercials are wonderfully creative and very funny. I’m glad we can sometimes laugh at ourselves without getting mad.

Yeah, I’ve never understood this version of the commercial…or any other. If you have bad credit, you can get a job at a Ren Fair? Or you find yourself working at a seafood restaurant? Or if only you had run a credit report on SOMEONE ELSE, you would have known not to marry her?

Freecreditreport.com is a scam designed to prey on people who have a dim awareness that they are entitled to a free annual copy of their credit report, but don’t realize that THIS isn’t the source for said report. And all the nifty features described in the commercials come at premium prices – certainly not “Free.”

I used to hate seeing the grinning sociopath from Countrywide Mortgages tell desperate folks about all the great refinancing deals they could get…right before the mortgage bubble burst. Now Countrywide has gone down, hard. I also hated the commercials for the ADHD treatment that promised to turn your kid into the Chairman of the Board or Owner of the Team. I hate Freecreditreport.com. I only hope they go down like Countrywide.

On the plus side, perhaps what people will take away from this commercial is “Gee, I’d like to go to a Ren Fair someday.” I miss the old Pocono Renaissance Faire in Bushkill Falls…

Not terribly surprising, seein’ as “freecreditreport.com” is as close to a scam as you can get.
