Ignoring the choppy English in the header (would "Has a hacker stolen your identity?" have been too difficult?) I'm nevertheless baffled by the choice of stock photography.
Who is this guy, employed by a Red Lobster and holding a guitar? Is he supposed to be some sort of surfer-guy-looking hacker or pirate, coopting your identity for his nefarious purposes of buying more dime bags and surf board wax? Or is he supposed to be the victim? If he's the victim, who would want his Red Lobster troubadour wages and totally awesome uniform?
Baffling.
The guy is a musician who sings the jingle for "freecreditreport.com." In one of the adds, he is working at a lobster restaurant because "some hacker" stole his identity.
What's worse though, is the false advertising. The company will not tell you if it was a "hacker" that stole your identity, or simply someone who took mail out of your mailbox, which is a heck of a lot easier to do, and I believe more common.
He is in several ads, look out for the ad with him in a Geo.
Glad to see I'm keeping up the time-honored tradition of being completely out of touch with society.
Also Justin, I will look for an ad with him driving your Geo.

Yes it's true: When somebody defrauds a creditor with an assumed identity, the victim is legally required to register as a simpleton and perform buffoonery for our collective amusement.
I was under the impression that simpleton registration and subsequent buffoonery was already mandatory for all citizens in at least 14 states.

It is mandatory in 14 states. The process Neal describes is used in the other 36, to get around the "anti-simpleton registration and subsequent buffoonery" laws that have been passed. This is due to [scary noises] activist judges [\scary noises] in these states that ruled unconstitutional the mandatory registration, etc.
I'm really annoyed by those activist judges, with their war protest signs and their fur-coat spraypaint antics.

I don't understand the advertisement. And why is he smiling! Perhaps he is playing his guitar with rich creamy nougat or he is getting his 'credit' checked.
