I'm shocked. Who could have ever imagined that this kind of thing would happen. And to think Con talk shows have such reputable advertisers pushing the likes of heating oil futures and baldness cures. When you consider these audiences are so much smarter than the average person because the host keeps telling them they are, I don't understand how a grifter business could keep operating. Truly perplexing.
I should also note that this story is another data point that supports my conclusion to not trust BBB ratings at all. BBB doesn't really look at the merits of the complaint... just what the business did in response regardless of whether that is satisfactory or some Kafkaesque mumbo jumbo.
omg Rhad. so the part that pisses me off the most is Glenn Beck telling people to "pray on" the decision to purchase gold....while suggest that social justice has no place in the Church. i quit.
Wow Rhad. That graphic is stunning. I've seen goldline commercials before but never really put any thought into them. I think a co-worker of mine bought from them.
Ouch. There's going to be a lot of unhappy people trudging from their bunkers to dig up their gold stashes. Parlez vou Glenn Beck?
He was taking part in it, but he was actually trying to draw the authorities' attention to it so that he could profit from it by getting at part of the penalty fund set up for victims of hacks like Glenn Beck.
I was reading the wikipedia entry for KRBE and apparently Glenn Beck used to be on there in the mornings. I had no idea.
Scammers target gullible people. There's a good reason why they didn't get Jon Stewart or Rachel Maddow to promote the scam.
when i was young, i was told there was a city made out of solid gold. Spoiler <iframe width="960" height="720" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Hj-Lcxh9yEY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Spoiler you were expecting Styx?
Kinda ironic that conservatives are getting ripped off by a company that is essentially not being regulated. I wonder what the conservative response would be - to make it illegal (regulation) for this company to do what it is doing - or to say it's fine, that individuals are responsible and the company should be policed by other gold sellers.
A regulation is a type of law. To deregulate is to make more actions legal. In this case, you'd have to pass regulations (laws) that prevented someone from inflating the value of a commodity etc etc. I am just curious to see how conservatives react.
