Have you seen the new Free Credit Report (dot com) TV ad where he sings about how “I married my dream girl, but she didn’t tell me her credit was bad…”?

Here’s a clip to refresh your memory.

I don’t like this ad. The guy is criticizing his wife for having bad credit, blaming her for their crappy living situation, even going so far as to say he wouldn’t have married her had he known about her credit rating, because then “he’d be a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard.”

The nerve of this man! As I recall from his previous ads, his credit ain’t so great either. A dude who works at a pirate restaurant and the Renaissance Fair shouldn’t complain.
