[comp.dcom.telecom] Sleazy Credit Card Ad

In the continuing saga of late night sleazy ads, here's one I saw
recently.  This was from a bank called American National something. It
showed a guy complaining about how other banks would not give him a
credit card because he had a lack of credit history. Then this bank
gave him one ("All you have to do is to open an account with them.",
yeah!) without any hassle.

At the end was a 900 number to call the bank for a credit application,
only 10$ per call.
