Poor attempts at Internet advertising

Ridiculous...
Is that dude half-man, half-pig?
Hasn't imaging technology (compression, rendering and all that good business) progressed enough that we can get better images?
I guess not.

And what is this dude wearing? Somebody should have told him, "dude, you're going to be on the Internet, wear some cool threads." I think someone told him to sit still and hold a piece of rope. His response, "wha? you want me to hold a rope? Yeah, I can do that. And I'll get free checking? Okay I'll do it." However, note the meticulously styled bed head hair. I can only surmise that he's trying to appeal to the Jack 'RegularCollegeDude' Smith. What college student can't identify with the belle coiffe, poor attire, need for checking and...fear of strings? I'll never understand today's youth.

On a related topic, don't get me started on the bizarre antics portrayed in the LowerMyBills.com ads. This dude has that topic cornered, so I won't even go into any detail. I will note that his blog shows the progression of the ads and it's quite interesting.
