I don't know why you think that's the government error,
that's one of those spammer/ loan shark deals, trying to get you to run up debt, which is government guaranteed.
Shows you the value of their "higher education".

lol, my point was the carelessness of people who are running business or working in advertising. That banner was on Kazaa, and it stayed there for hours shuffling through another one every little bit, so the thousands of people on kazaa got a chance to see, as you said, higher education at work.
