freecreditreport.com has done a pretty good job with their glut of commercials with those dudes who play pop music about the lead singer (and apparently his bandmates as well) and his not-so-good financial decisions. Except for this commercial here which is about his wife's bad credit rating. This is the first song I saw (I think it was the first one they did. I'm not sure) and it wasn't until awhile ago that I realized that the singer is so shook up about his wife's bad credit that he wished he never married her. So ladies, make sure the man you marry either knows a little bit about you and financial history, which assuming your marriage wasn't the result of some misguided decision making while exploring fabulous Las Vegas you have probably spent some time with your beau and would have probably covered the whole sharing of finances thing during the engagement. This apparently didn't happen with the couple in question. Good thing that he is dealing with the regret by being passive-aggressive and singing a song about his woe while his wife is doing housework all around him. You really picked a winner there lady! Maybe the wife is deaf and thats a way for him to actually deal with it privately without annoying anyone. Frankly, I'd like to imagine that I could deal with all of my marital stresses by being able to get two other guys to help me sing about what would piss me off about my wife. Next, when we consider the arc of the story that these songs string together (and you can watch them all on youtube if you please) then he is being a hypocrite for lambasting his wife's bad credit when all the rest of the songs are about his bad credit. Maybe the tendency to reach for the credit cards was contagious and he then felt compelled to make bad financial decisions later in life and is now paying his debts by becoming the bard of a website that doesn't actually help you with your credit rating, but rather just lets you know if you suck or not.
