Troy Aikman and Rent a Center commercials

Is he hard up for money?   Alimony?  Child Support?  Poor investments?    What is the heck is a fairly likeable guy doing making commercials for a place that rents tv's for $19.99 a week?   I understand Hulk Hogan...we know his troubles.  He's probably still paying off the boob jobs of his women but Troy?

I hate places like Rent a Center & pawn shops & pay day loans & title loans.   Why don't they make them put "Loan Shark" on the sign?   A bank is not allowed to charge the kind of interest these places charge so how do they get by with it?  And a guy doing it in a back alley would be arrested.   And they are cropping up everywhere.  When I was working, I could count 5 on the road between my house and work.    They put a poor person deeper and deeper in the hole.  How can anyone get ahead?

One of the commercials has a guy who actually says something like "Yeah, the interest is high but there is no credit check".     Geez.  

Here is a suggestion:
Don't buy it if you have to borrow money from one of these places to pay for it!!
