Advertising is getting just plain ol' stupid

So I was reading an article on Yahoo News today when an ad on the side caught my eye.

And when I say "caught my eye" what I really mean is annoyed me enough to make me look. Much like a very fat old hairy man in a speedo I was powerless to avert my eye's. The googles indeed, do nothing.

Here is a screen capture of the specific ad in question:

Now what you can't see in my capture is that the two sillouette's are dancing back and forth in the moonlight constantly. Back and forth like the front of K.I.T.T on Knight Rider.....they never stop shaking what their mama's gave them. Long after you and I pass from this mortal coil, these two will be so excited about their mortgage rates they will be dancing on your grave.

If you don't believe me, click this to see the ad directly.

Now I have a few problems.
1. The only way to only pay $1,698 per month on a $510,000 loan is to figure it for 50 years...and even then your going to end up paying 3x's the loan amount in the end
2. What the FUCK do two people dancing in front of the moon have to FUCKING do with a FUCKING mortgage????? What stupid mother fucking asshole signed off on this thinking that "hey, this speaks to our demographic, dancing nocturnal people looking for a mortgage"

I've been seeing these for a while, stupid ones like a bear holding a fish, or the one's where every scale on a snake is a different state for car insurance.

The simple fact that something thinks something like this was good enough to make me interested pisses me off. Not to mention that you have to be a fucking moron if you think your paying two much for your mortage. If anything your not paying enough. Low mortgage monthly payments are just a scam by the banks to keep you paying more on your loan so they can line their pockets with it.
