UNbelieveable ... though one of my friends once saw an ad for a car that began with, "To be one with everything, you must own one of everything." *shudder* (Hi, by the way -- I stumbled across your blog on Technorati a few days ago & enjoy it very much!)

I don't know if I'm allowed to dis your sponsors, or if this is even a real sponsor on your site, but this, I think, is the evilest credit card in all the land. I have long held the opinion that credit card companies are evil, but this just takes the cake. Depressing, really. And yet, I still support your desire to make money off your blog. I wish you could include a "this product is evil" disclaimer, but I guess that would sort of defeat the point. Sigh. Oh. my. god.

I didn't intend to learn anything with this blog post, but I'm actually learning a lot about how credit works.

Exactly what self-righteous yuppies would buy to remind themselves that they're better than everybody else. Because it's not what you do or what you really believe in that matters, it's what you put on a little piece of plastic. These cards reek of smugness.
