J.G. Wentworth Representative Is Illogical and Rude

So you have seen those incredulously horrible ads on the television for J.G. Wentworth and Associates, right? Every time one has come on I have wondered if they were homemade and if J.G. Wentworth was some sort of small startup-type company here locally. If you haven't seen the ads, check the link above and you'll see what I mean. Pure filthy crap. The runny kind. From a purely cinematic and aesthetic aspect, these ads are atrocious. Horrible inconsistent sound and lighting, color correction is radically different between shots, there are light stands in the shots, etc. Completely unprofessional in my opinion. Maybe that's their strategy so that people can remember who they are, but it's a calculated risk, sacrificing professionalism for brand placement. Anyway, I got online today and looked them up to see if they're local, because it's a potential client for me. Every time I see one I wonder why I'm not making their commercials (Like that crappy Kill Bill Benihana commercial). Heck, every time I see one I wonder why Lassie isn't making their commercials.

It turns out that they're based out of, I think, Pennsylvania. So I was like, 'heck, let's give 'em a call'. So I dial the 800 number and representative 'Matt' answers the phone.

(The dialogue isn't completely verbatim, but I'll do the best that I can. So this is a disclaimer. I may be putting some words into the mouth of our good friend Matt, but most of this transcript is accurate. So, this is my official legal disclaimer.)

Matt: Thanks for calling J.G. Wentworth. My name is Matt. How can I help you?
Me: Yeah, I was just calling about your advertisements.
Matt: Yeah what about them?
Me: Well, (long pause) I was wondering if I could do your advertising for you.
Matt: Well do you have a background in marketing or advertising.
Me: Well, sorta, yeah. But that's not so much my point as that every time I see one on TV, they're so poorly made-
Matt: Well, I think they're really effective. It got you on the phone didn't you?
Me: Well yeah-
Matt: And I'm talking to you right now right?
Me: Yeah-
Matt: And it could be a marketing strategy.
Me: Yeah, and that's what I was wondering if you were making really bad commercials on purpose to help-
Matt: What about them is so bad.
Me: Well, they're so poorly made. The-
Matt: Well I think they're very effective. It got you to call didn't it?
Me: Well, yeah. But I'm not so much calling about structured settlements. I'm calling about how bad your ads are. Every time I see one on TV, they're so poorly made it infuriates me.
Matt: Well I think that they're very effective and (This is an exact quote) if everyone was as easily manipulated as you, we'd be a whole lot richer than we are now.
Me: Wow. (Laughs) You just said that. (Laughs again). That's awesome.
Matt: (Hangs up)

Now I speculate that Matt with his fast talking and cutting me off every two words thinks that he 'won' the phone call, but his logic didn't make any sense. Yeah, I may have crossed the line but saying that the ads 'infuriate me', and yeah, J.G. Wentworth is so rich and all, but they just paid for that phone call.
