Where Parodies Intersect with Reality

The Predatory Lending Association, shrugging off all that negativity of the word "predatory" (our national symbol the bald eagle is a predator!), offers a handy website:
The Predatory Lending Association (PLA) is dedicated to extracting maximum profit from the working poor by increasing payday loan fees and debt traps. The working poor is an exciting, fast growing demographic that includes: military personnel, most minorities, and a growing percentage of the middle class.

Also includes finding aids to help aspiring payday loan entrepreneurs find poor people, vulnerable military personnel, and minorities. Plus: a handy table comparing predatory lending to indentured servitude (hint: indentured servitude was "not customer service oriented"). Come join this growing sector of the economy!
