Banks are Idiots

howsyrface:

So, hey, just got a letter from Citibank saying that they’ve decided to change my credit card APR to 29.99% in order to “continue to provide our customers access to credit”. Way to fuck the economy, dudes. The government gave you money so YOU CAN LOAN IT TO CONSUMERS TO BUY SHIT. And it is really, really good business practice to fuck the people who (a)still have jobs (b) are most likely to continue to borrow money.

Seriously, this is fucked. I have not missed payments or otherwise defaulted and my rate is being raised over 50%.

agreed. and considering the fun we’ve had with no real progress at even *suggesting* such a thing as health insurance reform, just imagine what’ll go down when we bring up equally necessary credit reform.

Short Film of the Day: We Were Once A Fairytale, the much-hyped Spike Jonze / Kanye West collaboration-slash-kinda sorta music video for “See You in My Nightmares,” which debuted at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June, has made its way online.

Two words: Rodent harakiri. Nuff said.

ok, so, I guess I like Kanye again? this is getting so confusing.

“ Stealth marketing, direct advertisement and product placement work only on the clueless, and our immersive, hippo-like wallowing in the marketplace serves only to make us resistant to these viral contagions. Because the more we are sold to — and, believe it, we are being pitched every minute — the more immune we are to it all.

this every night now, not sleeping, waiting for something better than the sun, which in all likelihood just isn’t going to happen.
