The Tennessee Credit Card Massacre

By now, you might have heard of the 'Tennessee Credit Card Massacre', one man's attempt to destroy his credit cards in the most satisfying ways possible. In the video, Fred Wilharn of Franklin, TN, dons a familiar hockey mask and disposes of his credit cards by slicing, shredding, blending, drilling, and even electrocuting them.

What could drive a man to such vicious acts!? Wilharn had just paid off his credit card debt following a series of rate and fee increases. Rather than celebrating by simply cutting up the cards, Wilharn got creative and decided to commemorate the occasion with an entertaining horror movie spoof. The video has gone viral, and has been featured on ABC, Fox News, and in the Wall Street Journal.

Do you sympathize with WIlharn? Millions of cardholders have been stressed out by rising interest rates. Even folks with good credit standings have felt the pinch of lower credit limits and higher rates. If you've ever felt like cutting up your own cards, be sure to watch Wilharn's YouTube video.

Fortunately, there are still some decent interest rates to be had. Take a look at our low interest credit cards to find one.
