Double dose of contradictions
I love the small print at the bottom of the banner: "First time customers only." The second time you're a customer, the oxymorons do not apply.
In truth, these money lenders aren't funny. They say they're providing a service to people who don't have other resources. That may be true, but when people get started with check advances, it's hard for them to escape from the trap. The interest rates are exorbitant. The customer may repay the loan and interest after he gets his check -- but then he has to get another loan to make it to the next check.

They prey upon people when people get desperate. It's sad.
I agree.
