Now why do I say that, at 33 years of age, I'm still a strange child? Well I do tend to know a lot and, perhaps, even to think too much. I love the jingles that have been created for the "free credit report dot com" commercials (all except the last one.) I find them catchy (but not catchy enough to use their services ever again.)
The problem I have is with the commercial where he's "dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant." You see, in this jingle he says "Should have gone to freecreditreport.com, could have seen this coming at me like an atom bomb."
Well, I've expressed my issues with this to the people around me and they all roll their eyes and tell me I'm weird so now I'm posting it here to my blog instead since that's basically what I created the blog for in the first place.
My issue is that an Atom Bomb is built to be fast and difficult to detect. In fact, in "Remembering the Manhattan Project" By Cynthia C. Kelly it's stated that an ICBM can reach any target within 30 minutes. I'm pretty sure I would like to see credit problems coming at me in a more detectable way and with more than 30 minutes warning. How about the rest of you?

I, for one, dislike mixed metaphors. ( I assume this wasn't a modern Somali pirate, but an old fashioned Caribbean style pirate.) What do pirates and atom bombs have in common? How many centuries separate the two?
However, I shouldn't be surprised. People who write commercials for credit reports for brain-rotting television probably have a shaky grasp on history anyway.
