There is something a bit distasteful with a lender splashing out so much money on an advertisement. You know in the end its the customers that end up paying for it with interest.

I suspect most {Product.Name} customers end up paying for {Product.Name}'s advertising by purchasing {Product.Name}?

Isn't that kinda the point! ;)

This is true of all advertisements. The customers (or investors) end up footing the bill through higher prices.
