I had to. And you know you wanted it. You sickos.
They'll play this commercial to kids in school 500 years from now.
Seriously.
They will play this commercial to kids in school 500 years from now.
Imagine if we had commercials from the tulip craze.
Don't doubt me.
It hath been foretold.
"Did you see the size of that garage?"
"Great, now let me get to work!"

I always love hearing the wife grunt "YESSS!!" at the end. She's such a sweetheart.
To all the fanny-pack wearing honey do mall-rat walking pussies who let your spouses ruin your family and your finances, I say once again:
DIE U IGNORANT STUPID GREEDY PIGS
SUFFER.

Adding insult to injury, former Countrywide execs start a new company to suck in even MORE bad crap.

You can't make this stuff up.
When the cops knock on the door to kick this guy out after the foreclosure, I hope he takes the jar on top of the fridge with his balls in it .
I have your garage right here!
That is truly one of the best yet most disgusting adds ever produced, and I fully agree that it is one for the ages. I can just see it... "I love those tulips." Did you see the size of that stem?
"...you know you wanted it. You sickos."
{LOL}
Man knows his audience.
Thanks, Keith

Yeah, and in the future the people will worship you and Barack H Obongo as saviors and prophets like Bill and Ted.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!
I love how you keep posting this! It's so poignant. Poor guy forced into debt servitude by his materialistic wife.
....lost his life savings. Now has to figure out how to take care of his kids.
Funniest 30 seconds of my life - like a good wine it just gets better with age! I don't know if that listing was "special" but I sure as hell know this commercial is. I agree with Keith, should be mandatory viewing in money management courses of the future. So much emotion fueling such an important decision can leave you a wreck, don't forget to mix in a little reason too.

A true classic.
Why Ramen hasn't release a commemorative noodle in Suzanne's honor is beyond me.
Hahahah! Oh man that video makes me laugh every time. And to think such innocentlooking women could cause an economic meltdown?
I think realtors should only get 1%of the sale. Or maybe 1/2%.
I don't know the history of the whole thing, but when did this leech-o-rama get started and why?
First words out of my mouth when I saw that you linked to that commercial again--"Suzanne, you bitch."
I bet she gives good house.

YAWN

Not if all the celluloid and digitized content gets obliterated in the fiery inferno.
Don't doubt me.
Even if some archeologist finds a server with the content, he won't know what to do with the artifact and will just use it as a flower stand in his mud and straw hut.
Whiny Wife: "We can do this."
Husband/Obama Follower: "Yes, we can!"
OT, sort of
Hey Keith? Have you seen this article in the NYT?
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/04/business/04penny.html?hp
OMFG
Haha. That videos probably received an extra 100k views because of your blogs.
Even 'Dr. Doom' is now scared!!

Folks! We've been ahead of the curve! IMO, Nouriel should become a part-time contributor to this blog and forget about his premium website!
Don't be retarded, they won't play this commercial to kids ever. Doesn't ruin my enjoyment of it, however.
25 years later, this song fits perfectly. NSFW language.

You have to seriously wonder if people are ever going to get it.
Perhaps sucking down too much corn syrup and flavourings has permanently dumbed down the population.
Cows don't learn anything in the slaughter house. That isnt the point of the exercise at all.
When head hunters are hunting for a job does that mean unemployment rate in your local area will continue going up.

I hope this thread is not dead yet.
Re: Hyperinflation. It might not be the case. I cannot do it total justice, but if you have a lot of time, look at the battle between Mike Shedlock "Mish" v. Peter Schiff. They have been back and forth on the deflation v. inflation battle.
Right now we are in a deflationary death spiral. Think real estate, Dow, US Treasuries. Ben Bernanke's worst enemy is deflation. The Fed and the US Tres Dept are at wits end trying to "re-flate" the system, but it is not taking. Look at their complaint that the banks are not using TARP money to create new loans. Look at the spike in US savings rate. The consumer is toast and is hunkering down. Yet, the banks are tight fisted with the bailout money. Why? Because they are insolvant! The bailout money is sitting in the case that the consumer/depositors go deep underground demanding their cash back.
The Fed and Tres don't get it. They want another asset bubble to lift consumer spending and the GDP. Not going happen for a long time. Money has been flying out the risky stocks into safe US Tres notes. However, there is a bubble forming there now. If the money freaks out (don't ask me how or why) and pulls out of the Tres notes it will not be going back to the stock market, it will go to cold hard cash in hand.
This flight to the safety of cold cash will cause depositors to demand their money out of the banks. Bec the banks were leveraged 30:1 during the housing bubble, they don't have it. That is where your bail out tax money went to. The banks stopped loaning and are hoarding the baliout dough just waiting for the runs to begin. And they will. The first few depositors that ask for their cash will just be getting their tax dollars back!
The Johnny-come-latelies will get nothing. The FDIC is so poorly funded, they will not get their $100,000. This will cause MASSIVE civil unrest, to say the least. This is The Event Horizon. This is when deflation will shift to inflation. The Fed and Tres will try to correct by printing $100g's for every stiffed depositor to try to make right. Those who never even had a deposit will flip out screaming discrimination and demand $100g's also or else. The Fed will cave due to further civil unrest, and will print $100g's for every American, legal or not.
There are two very large problems at this point. Number one, how long has the deflationary death spiral lasted? If it goes on for too long the GDP will be greatly reduced and American production will be minimal. Imagine nearly every factory shut down and moth-balled. The issue is the length of time our production ability needs to ramp up.
The Second major issue will be how long the athorities allow the civil unrest to persist. The longer it persists, the longer it takes for the angry populace to become docile consumers again. The printing of money directly to the populace and the reduced production abiliies of this country will be the hyperinfaltion rocket ship. And it will only cause a further civl unrest spiral.
IMHO, this or something like this is the senario that Bush's Tres Sec Hank Paulson spelled out to Nancy Pelosi on his knees. Pelosi obviously did not take him seriously.
Hope ya'all have a good day!
This is getting old now.

Anyone hear the rumor/scam that allot of the illegal high tech foreign workers who do not have H1B visa are working out of safe houses.
That some companies are contracting work out to a consultant who then passes the work to the illegal high tech foreign workers so that the Federal government can not detect what is going on.

Feds Bust Nationwide H-1B Visa Scam
According to the charges, the H-1B workers have been placed in jobs and locations not previously certified by the Department of Labor, replacing qualified American workers and violating prevailing wage laws.
The companies and foreign workers have allegedly submitted false statements and documents in support of their visa petitions.
I wish someone would do a good mash-up of this spot, intermixing scenes of the economic collapse, the foreclosure nightmare, and soon mozilo's arrest.
Or maybe with mad max?
If you play this backwards and look carefully, you will see an Orange man grinning behind John's back.

It finally dawned on me: Fat Boy is not emasculated. He is getting the highest validation and strokes because "he can do it". The deadlock breaker was not his nagging wife, but that his income, through Suzanne's funny money calculator, and much to his surprise is enough to afford the bigger house. He's the man! At least for this brief, shining moment.
The telling part is Keith's quote: "now let me get to work". The REATLTOR's game is a game of information control. Next time, Fat Boy and Naggy need to do their own research, and not let the REALTOR be the only one working.
"Mitesh Damania said...

Never. Suzanne is like cheese doodles, NASCAR and FB Suicides and Arson. You can never get enough.

GOOD One! Checkmate.
The guy could rent his wife out as a prostitute to help make the house payments.
They actually might be doing ok right now. They could possibly be living in that house without making payments, waiting out foreclosure and eviction, eating cheetos on the big sofa in front of the big tv with their two overweight children. They might be smiling their fat little smiles to each other at how they beat the system. Suzanne, of course, is unemployed, but they laugh at that too.
I insist you post this ad monthly. It's our national anthem or more like our national anathema.
"...A typical welcome aboard
gift was a pair of scissors, tape, and white out, three things a loan officer or financial professional
should never need...
...We found investors that were not re-pulling credit reports, so we would change a 500
fico to a 700 fico, a person in foreclosure and make it look like they were never late, fake w2s, pay stubs, bank statements, verification of deposits, none of which was being re-verified.
These investors, who were securitizing these assets as AAA rated were not even verifying anything in the files? I am sure that their investors were assured everything from correspondents was being audited.
Every time a lender caught a file we would “fire” the employee produce termination
paperwork to the investor, and re-hire the employee under a different alias..."
Suzanne(apologies to Leonard Cohen)
Suzanne takes you down to the overpriced place by the freeway
You can hear the cars drive by
You can spend the night astride her
And you know she's totally insane
She will feed you useless crap that comes all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
that you have no downpayment money to give her
Then she gets Countrywide on you wavelength
And she let's the broker answer
That it's ok as long as you you can fog a mirror.
Even wine turns to vinegar if you age it long enough. But this commercial keeps getting sweeter with time. When will it turn sour?

You're right Keith!
This is the best housing bubble video in all it's glory!
"I love those tulips." Did you see the size of that stem?"
Yes, we must pay top dollar for these speical tulips!

They should be in jail, but instead they make out on the clean up.
This video should be mandatory as part of all "Pre-Nup" agreements stating that if the wife EVER exhibits this behavior, it is grounds for divorce with ZERO compensation.
And yes, once again the white male is portrayed as a doughy spineless lump of jello caving to an agressive bitch (er I mean "empowered" female).
It makes me nostalgic about HP's 'ol good days, when enraged realtwhores and traders would come out of the woods to bash us and call us tin foil hats. Now they just hide and shake under their Sub-Zero refrigerator carton box at the alleys.

Just reminded me of a major a-hole realtor/developer dealt with during the boom. He was planning a subdivision bordering I-95. While appraising the site we made some comment about how you could really hear the traffic. He responded - (I kid you not) - "If you close your eyes, it almost sounds like the ocean". !!
Yeah. If you are on acid maybe.
"...Now they just hide and shake under their Sub-Zero refrigerator carton..."
Or unintentionally confess, without a hint of irony or self-awareness: The entire edifice of residential real estate is founded on secrets and lies
Keith,
Any progress on the plan to film a followup to "Suzanne Researched This" with the same people? Did anyone out there ever identify the agency for you?
'Scoe
"...Did anyone out there ever identify the agency...?"
Pssst.
