    Default Fictional band returns in ads for credit report commercials

    It seems that the General's buddies -- Victorious Secrets -- may have been thrown out on their asses...

    A fictional band that lip-synched ditties for Experian's FreeCreditReport.com returns in new ads for FreeCreditScore.com.
    The public demanded it, the company said.

    The original three members were replaced in 2010 by musicians who actually toured to play the jingles live, but the outcry to bring back the first outfit was intense enough to warrant the faux band's return, according to Experian spokesman Ken Chaplin. The Canadian originals, led by Eric Violette, get their encore run in a campaign set to debut on national cable June 18.

    You're right. I need to look at the big picture; this is a big deal.

    huh?

    I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.
