Debtvertising

Normally I don't consider scare advertising with humor "scarevertising", but this website is so poorly made and unfunny that it's actually scary. "Keep it in your pants" is a nice thought for credit card responsibility, but a not-so-great promotion. The site challenges you to make a PSA about the dangers of "debt disease" (which is a made up sickness), and one of the prizes you win is an ugly shirt that further advertises their cause. So basically you're making an ad for a chance to win an ad you can wear on your chest.














Remember, together we can put an end to made up diseases that have been shamelessly overused in advertising for over five years now. I would've preferred a caveman or ninja concept instead...maybe even Chuck Norris.
