Consumerist

Thats all great Ric, but you left out the 18% interest rate...

REALLY?! omg, a Pulitzer for Ric, STAT!

In other news- water is officially considered to be wet.
What a tool....

They make fun of him all the time over at fark.com

Joke, right?

its not fark its the consumerist

Ric, on behalf of all of us here on the inter-webs, I would like to welcome you to the 21st century...

@thekizerman: Pay your bill off every month.

I've heard there are these new forms of online expression called "BLOGS" and on these "WEB LOGS" people write all about things that interest them

@DallasDMD: Oh I do, but the people that listen to this guys advice probably don't.

Its good to see Fark memes spreading.

I love how the title of this post is "Obvious"

um, duh.

Poor Ric Romero. He used to be a sports reporter before they shoved him off into consumer reporting. I'm sure we'd all prefer he were still doing sports.

@ideagirl: Don't you mean the 20th?

But I have to feel sorry for him. I mean, he must get up every day knowing the best he can produce is simply Fark.

Also, Ric, your bank needs you to update your account information. All they need is your social security number, your password, and a copy of a voided check. It's easy! Click here!!

Ric's superhero name is Captain Obvious.

Actually as some have noted, he's a Fark celebrity for this. He does these obvious stories all the time, leading me to believe there is a segment of the population that really doesn't know this stuff. Perhaps there really is a market for this news.

Welcome to 1997, Ric.

Ric's superhero name is Captain Obvious.

@JKinNYC: I suppose that's still better than Captain Linger.

Ric Romero?

Isn't that a little like 'Dirk Diggler'.

And, by the way, why is his picture next to "shill" in the dictionary?

@JKinNYC: Well, there are still people who fall for Nigerian 419 scams, so we should never underestimate how little the average person *actually* knows...

Welcome to the Interweb.

Old and busted: making fun of Ric Romero on Fark. New hotness: making fun of Ric Romero on Consumerist.
