Identity Theft Scares You

CitiBank Identity Theft Solutions features "Darrel," a bald man sitting on his weight bench, bewitched with the voice of an 18-year-old girl. He starts out by saying, "I stole his password online and 'Hello, makeover!' I got hair extensions, plumped up the lips and snapped the hottest head shots. Hollywood, here I come! Tell me what you think." Then comes the off-key rendition of "Unbreak My Heart."

  • we've got the sharks out of the pool,
