FreeCreditScore.com Score Planner Brett Michaels Ad

In this commercial for FreeCreditScore.com, a couple is playing with the online tools for this company’s website, and after checking the normal stuff, they try a new tool called the “Brett Michaels Slider”, and Brett Michaels appears in their living room, playing an acoustic version of a Poison song. So, um, is this tool especially designed to punish people with bad credit? Candy-assed fake hair “metal” songs? I mean, to force Brett Michaels on someone, that’s pretty bad; but to punish people with acoustic versions of Poison songs? That’s clearly cruel and unusual punishment. And I thought America does not torture. Or does that only extend to entities that don’t donate campaign contributions to politicians re-election campaigns?

Here’s the candy-assed commercial:


(BTW: The song played here is “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”, and I take that to mean that this Brett Michaels thing is clearly the thorn of using FreeCreditScore.com: having to listen to acoustic versions of Poison songs. Oh, and apparently everyone’s wife will throw themselves at Brett Michaels when he shows up, so this service will obviously destroy a lot of marriages. So, um, does this company also own a divorce law firm? If not, they might want to buy one before including this Brett Michaels slider.)

(P.S.: No disrespect to Brett Michaels; I just don’t like fake pop metal ballads. But if you do, then by all means sign up for FreeCreditScore.com and get your fill.)
