Rant Time Again: Lowermybills.com

I emailed their marketing department once, with no response. Does anyone really click on their obnoxious ads? You must REALLY need them to stop. Here is my email:

To whom this may concern: I can't stand looking at your ads with the dancing people that go back and forth; they are driving me crazy. I don't know what they have to do with lowering my bills, and I don't think you do either. If you're saying that somehow I'm supposed to dance my bills away, trust me, I've tried it and it doesn't work.

You leave me no choice but to have to assume that it is the handiwork of a summer intern with a flair for macro media, because otherwise I'll cry. And I certainly won't be alone in my sobbing, the children will be crying too. Please, think of the children. In the future I hope to not see the dancing people on your ads, because until then, my bills will remain high and I will not be shimmying, twisting, nor mash potato-ing with my wife with the false hopes that they'll be paid by some magical incantation of our swaying hips.

Sincerely,

Alex Burdine, concerned citizen.

Alex-

I couldn't agree more. These ads are a joke. The recent mortgage mess is due in large part to these misleading ads, too. People are fed up with it.

Here's the interesting thing, their business model is dying and they know that. That's why these ads get more and more obnoxious. They'll be replaced by the next generation of sites, the first of which is

The next generation will provide users a personalized resource with no contact info required.

Then, it becomes a valuable tool.
