hot air powers the point >>––> by Brent Logan
Oh yeah! I want to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars from a mortgage company that advertises using cheesy dancing girls!
I guess, like for spam, there are enough idiots that respond to ads like this to make running them worthwhile. It’s sad, really…

And they wonder why the housing loan market tanked…
@Josh, It’s just pandering to a certain market segment. Sort of like what a certain Kia dealer in town (PDX) does with its radio ads…
There has to be another segment that notices these ads and resolves never to do business with them.
I just found you by doing a search for the “dancing girl in ads”, and I was also wondering why they use the dancing girl to sell everything from morgages to lower car insurance, to classmates web service!
You gotta admit — they do catch your attention. Right after that, though, I feel offended. I refuse to do business with a company that resorts to such blatant, classless sleaze.
They almost hypnotized me into joining University of Phoenix Online this morning. Jesus, fellas, what powers women have…Jesus, indeed.
