So you don't work on a contingency basis?

So there's a credit company which has this gimmick: repay them within one week, and they don't charge any interest. You might think that "No Interest Loans" would be a good name for a company like this, but that's old economy thinking, loser. No, this company has gone for something short, sleek, and downright outrageous in its counterintuitiveness: No Loan!

The commercials are kind of cute, too. And they get props for using an idol who knows sign language and Korean and who "never forgets a face".

Popularity factor: 8

Wyatt:

Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that the dude in the commercials is very slowly undressing her?

Matt:

It's OK, Wyatt, he's giving her fashion advice. Ergo, he is not interested in her that way.

Wyatt:

If that's the case he's giving her bad advice. She was much hotter with the glasses.

IbaDaiRon:

Looks like I need to watch more surface-cast TV?

Matt:

Man, you should visit Japan, Wyatt, there are whole magazines devoted to the proposition that girls look better in glasses.

Wyatt:

I'm so there on my next three day weekend! What exactly is the name of this magazine, so I can just walk into Family Mart, pick it up, and head back home?

Matt:

P.S. Yes, surface-cast TV and weekly magazines for young girls is/are where idols are made!

Matt:

I don't know, but I saw it deep in Akihabara. Come to think of it, it may have been a mook.

If you can swing the other way, this book is pretty widely available right now.
