I want to meet a person who finds "Jimmy Cash" a convincing spokesperson
1. I wonder how many poor rubes actually ran out to their cars to check the glove compartment and trunk because Jimmy Cash, the shouting, dancing green elf on television, told them that there was cash in their car.
2. $50,000? Um, if you can get a loan of $50,000 on your car, you've got other ways of getting money and don't need the ruinous, usury level interest rates provided by a Title Loan. You can probably afford them, though.
3. Let's be real. 99 percent of the people who are so strapped for cash that they'd be willing to hand their car titles over for collateral on a short-term loan which will certainly bankrupt them unless they have a large amount of cash coming to them inside of a few weeks own beaters worth less than a few thousand dollars. They aren't going to be raising huge amounts of money on those beaters, sorry.
4. The other 1 percent are dumb clucks who got suckered into buying cars they couldnt afford but which sure look good on the street outside the apartment complex. Which means that "Jimmy Cash" knows his audience. Sad.

"Get cash".
ReplyDeleteNothing about "Paying back cash".
Or "Interest rate on cash".
These guys are barely operating on the right side of the law thieves. Pure and simple.
they really do go out of their way to convince the viewer that they are totally on their side and really, really want to hand them wads of money for the privilege of holding on to their car title for a few days. Because they know their audience probably already fill their apartments with Rent A Center furniture, tv and game systems and therefore are bad at reading contracts and even worse at math.
DeleteWhat a joke of an ad. I haven't seen this one yet on TV, but all these ads that prey on the poor and financially ignorant depress me. All I can think of is these poor suckers getting their car repo'ed when they can never manage to catch up with their bills. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteWhen people lose their houses, sometimes they end up resorting to living in their cars. That's bad enough. But what happens when they have no house AND no car?
I think that Johnny Smoke might be less dangerous than Jimmy Cash.
DeleteYears ago, we had Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope. Today, we have no Jobs and no Hope because all we have is Jimmy Cash.
