Checkmate Web Video: The Realities of Predatory Check Cashing Services

Wow, the Internet Celebrities have posted over 30 “comedy” videos on Youtube. Each video sends a message about the predatory lending crisis in this country. Entertaining yet very hard hitting. Check out the video below (beware of some well-placed four-letter words).

The Internets Celebrities Dallas Penn and Rafi Kam go in for an investigative report on Check-Cashing. Themes explored include usury, economic instability, commercial banks and their profit line, and the cycle of poverty.

Oh yeah, it’s a comedy.

The video is shot on location in Bushwick and Carroll Gardens in Brooklyn, New York. Also stars special guest Internets Celebrity Ben Popken of Consumerist.com.
