[kj] OT: Tender, moving YouTube video

[The Exorcist]

I'll tell you one thing that pisses the fuck outa me.
All the banks get their massive bailouts. And I 
get letters in the mail now telling me
that they are upping my APR. (While they fucking 
hound me on the phone trying to sell
me "credit protection". I swear.... They are worse than telemarketers!)

I've NEVER had a late or missed payment and don't 
stick to the "minimum due" amount.
COCKSUCKERS!

If that ain't something to be pissed about, I don't know what is! :)
