They're talking about buying houses from people who are suffering, bombarding them with advertising, and finally people who lack the mental capacity to know what they signed (the provided example in the blog, but there are far more in the original propublica article, is an elderly man who was incapable of writing their own name or naming the month of the year).

But even setting that aside, I'm sure you're also absolutely fine with every "Terms and Conditions" you sign up to every time you create a free account online. So if as parodied in the South Park episode, Apple shows up to your house and insists you join their Human Centipad because it was right there in the terms and conditions you signed up to when buying an iPhone, you will happily have your mouth sown to someone else's backside because you agreed to a contract.
