Anyone else find this a little ironic? The latest "freecreditreport.com" ad features the gang singing about the "credit roller coaster" - while riding Goliath at La Ronde in Montreal, a park operated by Six Flags through a lease contract specifying that they have to improve the property (see Wikipedia for more info).

Lyrics:

Buckle up everybody cause we're taking a ride

It can strain your relationships and hurt your pride

It's the credit roller coaster and as you can see

It kinda bites so sing the lyrics with me

When your debt goes up your score goes down

When you pay a little off it goes the other way around

It's just the same for everybody every boy and girl

The credit roller coaster makes you wanna hurl

So throw your hands in the air and wave em around

Like a wannabe frat boy trying to get down

Then bring em right back to where your laptop's at.

Best commercial ever!!

I love these commercials.

F to the R to the E to the E. C to the R to the E, D, I, T. RE to the PORT to the DOT to the COM, come on everybody grab your bike and sing along!

f.r.e.e. that spells free. credit report dot com baby.

Wehn there going up the lift hill for a second I thought it was Diamondback but it. And just relived something everyone is getting coasters with open air styel seating now.

While the seats and restraints are identical (or at least very similar) to those on Diamondback, it's not exactly open air.

Goliath consists of 9 cars, each of which has a single row of 4 seats

Diamondback consists of 8 cars, each of which has two rows of 2 seats, arranged in a way to prevent the seats in the front row from obstructing the view of the seats in the back row.

so the only good veiw is down in front???

rotag, who is now confused yet slightly understands

That is the best commercial ever.

This is the best commercial I have ever seen I already know some of the lyrics.

Those who have ridden Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia or similar coasters at other parks can probably explain better than I can, but here's a comparison...

Diamondback:

Goliath (note: this is the one at Six Flags Over Georgia, but it's the same idea):

The seats on Goliath are arranged much the same way the seats on Firehawk are.

i feel dumb now, wandering why i didnt catch it sooner.

The park is not Six Flags. At least, not anymore.

You must have not read carefully enough when the original poster said

"La Ronde in Montreal, a park operated by Six Flags through a lease contract"

The one thing to remember is that credit report is not free. You pay for a credit monitor service and they charge you after 30 days.

That is the best commercial ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one thing to remember is that credit report is not free. You pay for a credit monitor service and they charge you after 30 days.

And that you can get a truly free credit report FREE from each of the three credit reporting agencies each year, by law. There is no need to use the sponsor of this ad. Be also aware that when you get your credit report through the sponsor of that ad (they would want me to say their name), they sell your information to any number of other companies.

Another ironic part of that ad - the particular credit agency that runs that site doesn't even operate in Canada (they did for about 2 1/2 years but decided to stop earlier this year supposedly due to the economic recession).

curse the econome.
