    Rocket Mortgage had this truly nasty commercial that showed some schlub walking towards his house with three bags of groceries while the voiceover says that it used to be six bags. Then the guy’s house starts talking to him, reminding him that he has a tiny bit of equity in the house and he can get a second mortgage to pay for groceries. Then the guy starts dancing happily.

    Just astonishing that a corporation can sell borrowing money for food as a good thing. Rocket Mortgage’s owner Dan Gilbert also owns my favorite NBA team (Cleveland Cavaliers); I would be happy that they’re getting the shit kicked out of them by the Knicks if it weren’t for the fact that the Knicks’ owner is just as big of a scumbag. At least Gilbert doesn’t pretend to be a blues musician.
