Sneaky Bastard

Facebook just presented this ad to me. I can’t recall the other content on the page in which it appeared, however Facebook made a giant blunder in profiling if it thought I would be receptive to an ad in which Ben Stein shills for a slimy credit report company. The thing that struck me as hilarious was that the ad listed his credentials. I imagined “Columnist” and being hastily crossed out and “Crackpot” written in by hand. I would buy (almost) ANYTHING from a company that used Ben Stein as a tool (explicitly).

Coincidentally, there was an article on Pharyngula today showing the depths to which Ben Stein has sunk. It must be quite murky down there.
