Exactly what a debt ridden society doesn't need

Excerpted from an email sent out by Tremor, Proctor & Gamble's youth marketing arm:

"American Express needs your help! They are creating a new pre-paid card for Teens and they need your help naming the card! Click on the link below to learn how the card will work and tell them which name best fits with their new product. "

"We're giving away 150 official Tremor Member T-shirts. Just for completing the survey, we'll enter you for a chance to win one."

Sooner or later, the only people making money are going to be those who somehow hold a stake in lending others credit. Of course when this happens everyone will inexplicably blame the government for their own poor financial decisions. But that's always been the easy way for society's ills.
