Yes, they're getting ready to foreclose on my mortgage so I think I'll spend eleventy thousand dollars on a cruise to find out how to prevent this.

I'm sure this ship, like their interest rates, will never go down.

Dontcha just wish it was a 'subprime' cruise ship?

Posted by: Steve Haller | April 14, 2008 at 04:02 PM
Yeah. I can't WAIT to party with those dudes.

How can you afford this cruise? Just generate fees off poor shlubs and pass the risk on to gullible investors. It's just that simple!

And here's some great pix from their last cruise ...

If this isn't the biggest bullseye ever posted anywhere I wouldn't know what could top it. This will be a very special episode of CSI:Miami before all is said and done.

Linin' up and cockin' the hammer back...

Once the bubbly starts to flow, we'll likely see some Bear Sterns.

Why worry? If the ship begins to sink, someone will just come along and bail them out, like always.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | April 14, 2008 at 04:21 PM
They look like the Perky Newsteam Players!
I'd say they'll be cruisin' for a bruisin', but I don't wanna be accused of being clichéd.

So what would be worse, going on a cruise like this, or looking forward to going on a cruise like this?
Posted by: padraig | April 14, 2008 at 04:23 PM
none of the crew will claim to know english...
i thought this was tom's realtor brother for a second!

Ugh - the old marketing = exclamation points.
Too close to my old job to be funny - had to deal with basura like this all the time. Ugly, ugly people in so many ways.

Act now and you can book this cruise with no money down!
Posted by: CJrun | April 14, 2008 at 04:43 PM
I wouldn't go on that cruise even if this was the realtor ...
Posted by: Steve Haller | April 14, 2008 at 04:46 PM
Why not? Do you think she floats?

And
Happy cows come from CA...Land of fruits and nuts

This is my cruise, I put together, to bring together the BEST speakers and trainers in the world to teach ADVANCED mortgage management skills that I personally picked, that I always wanted to hear about, but never got in a conference. Sure, its expensive, but if you went on the cruise without the training etc., you would still spend 2k plus your excursions and other stuff. Look at the details of what you get with this cruise. Your getting a lot for your money.
Posted by: james b | April 14, 2008 at 10:40 PM
"its expensive"
"Your getting a lot"
Grammar lessons included?
But seriously James, if that is your real name, we as a blog apologize for suggesting that you and your ilk are in any way humorless pennygrinders. Wherever could we have gotten such an idea.

I liked the add for "loan magic" below the description of the ship. I was always taught that loans involved credit ratings and collateral, but apparently, they just involve MAGIC! Oh, I see...THAT is how the mortgage industry peddled BS subprime mortgages and suckered people into buying homes that they could not possibly pay for. It was MAGIC! That makes sense--in a true magic trick, one hand is pulling a rabbit out of a hat to distract you from what the other hand is doing, which provides an eerie parallel to the "loan magic" mess the mortgage industry got us into! People sign mortgages that were created using "loan magic," the mortgage broker gets paid a handsome fee, and no one notices and/or mentions that the buyer just signed up for payments that will soon exceed his/her salary.
Don't get me wrong--I think you must accept the blame if you signed a loan without reading it through or understanding what the terms really were, but the personal responsibility you bear does not in any way excuse the predatory lending practices of the mortgage broker industry.
