An ominous sign...the "Ditech" guy is back on tv, hawking cheap re-fi's.

Remember the fat asshole who used to do Ditech's (GM's) mortgage re-fi ads? "I should have gone to Ditech!"

He's back. Doing the exact same commercials, dressed in drag as his own "mother," selling cheap re-fi loans. But now it's for a different company. I haven't had a chance to research who owns this new cheap re-fi company, but the commercials are virtually identical.

Cue the "Jaws" music.

Maybe the couldn't afford Sir John Gielgud for a proper, pompous commercial

And nothing has been done to stop another one from happening. Seeing this bastard back on tv pitching the same kind of products just makes me ill. As Han Solo said..."I've got a baaaad feeling about this."

ads on the internet with "refinance and no doc loans."

I thought it was interesting, also.
