3 comments » My Vote for the Worst Advertisement of the Year-Good Morning Everyone- In general, I try not to be too negative - if I ever get TOO bad, I'm sure the local newspapers will try to hire me to write front page stories for them! LOL As I was driving into the office this morning I heard an ad on the radio that made me sick - a classic example of a sleazy mortgage ploy. It had the usual- talk about a rate that's very hard to get.... blah, blah. The worst part came at the end where they actually say that they donate $ from every closed loan to a children's' charity. If that isn't the most pathetic attempt to beg for business, I don't know what is! The mortgage industry and the people in it have a bad enough reputation due to the bad element that has been allowed to exist within it for so long - this sorry ad does nothing to raise the image. Next a Brokerage will announce "Money for the starving with every Listing" - Don't get me wrong - I have nothing against donations - but using the thought of them to guilt someone into using your company is beyond disgusting.

Comment from: ines [Visitor] Marc, I think the worst part is that a lot of people fall for their scams......it's pretty sad. Comment from: Bob Carney [Visitor] A portion of this comment is dedicated to the troops serving over seas. Now, let me show you a picture of a starving child too.
