Default Do you need to borrow money....

Have you seen the ad with Gary Coleman in it? They make the offer to lend you $2500 for 216 a month for 42 months...that's 99.25% interest. I thought usury was against the law....That's even worse than some loan sharks...9072 to pay back 2500...I need to start lending money.
