Blind Item of the Week

What recent Sigma Cum Laude college graduate is a big fan and big proponent of Pay Day loans? What’s worse is that this wannabe Charles Schwab graduated with a Finance degree. If you happen to be riding with this person hope that you don’t drive past a Cash Advance store because if you do you will be listening to a 5 minute narrative about the wonderful attributes of Pay Day Loans. He looks at these stores as if he is looking into the eyes of his one true love, and this reporter believes they are a match made in heaven. This college graduate swears up and down that he will be visiting these stores once he gets his first pay check (which is long overdue) because as he puts it, “It is a great way to get some extra income for when I want to go out to eat, or when I want to buy that extra copy of the Macarena or Backstreet Boys CD.”

The love and affirmation doesn’t stop there, he is also trying to recruit other people to share the same feelings he has about these sharks. His younger brother has already been brain-washed into believing these loans are the best thing since sliced bread. This is absolutely disgusting.
