Go to the doctor. Get the car fixed. Whatever.<br /><br />But now, Virgin Mobile has <a href="http://virginmobileusa.marketwire.com/easyir/firl.do?easyirid=13135DE328B72AB2">a new program</a> that gives poor people <a href="http://cellphones.about.com/b/2009/12/10/initially-free-virgin-mobile-service-assurance-wireless-goes-live-for-lower-income-households.htm">200 minutes a month</a>.<br /><br />FREE!<br /><br />It's too much!<br /><br />What's next?
