I am preapproved for government surveilence....

[Pirates Go ARRRRRRGH!]

I was just cleaning out my hotmail inbox and noticed a pre-approval for an Elvis Presley credit card. I'm not a big fan of Elvis, but i clicked on the message anyway. Here were the terms that were used to entice me:

WOWEEE!!!! What a deal. No credit check, no job, no deposit, no turndowns.... wait, what's that little asterisk?

OOhhhh... I see now. This reminds me of the VISA/666 connection i think taht was brought up in The Wave. Apparently terrorists looking for credit seem to be fans of Elvis. I especially liked the "You may also be asked to provide documention of idetification" bit. Papers Please!

THAT is priceless. I really had a good chuckle. I guess the "pre-approved credit" folks are having a hard time nowadays!

"NO EMPOLMENT REQUIRED" - how comforting ... is that like saying we don't need to vote?
