I am amazed by how many television commercials I see nowadays where the sponsor is a company that deals in cash advances of some kind.  Whether it is payday loans or  a loan against a car title, or a bad credit loan, the big business seems to be all about getting fast cash to the consumer.  What I find very irritating about the commercials is that the customers who are bragging about how they needed money and got it so easily, waving the money around.  They just seem to be very uneducated people!

And to be completely honest, those kinds of commercials simply turn me right off!    I don’t know what kind of commercial would entice me to use those services, but the ones that I see are pretty repulsive.  I understand that there are situations in which a consumer might need a quick loan, and that these types of loans are fairly easy to get, but I think that they could be promoted in a less distasteful way.

My sister told me about a blog that is unique and interesting is a strange way. People have been invited to create and submit postcards to a man in Maryland, revealing a personal secret to him. He puts the most interesting postcards on the internet, which in theory relieves the sender of the burden from keeping that secret. the blog is called, Post Secret.

This project has been so successful that he has published two books and is now lecturing all across the country on keeping and telling secrets.

The site changes out the postcards every Sunday, so I’ve bookmarked it and will check back once a week for my peek at other people’s secrets.
