83888 (or something) advertising on MTV channels.?



On music channels, in every commercial break there is always an advertisement either for stupid ringtones, games, contact with a "local girl" (which is actually just a computer generating messages to you), percentage love between you and someone else and even as stupid as a "guess" whether your pregnant with a boy or girl ... heck.. theres even one to tell yo what to call you baby (would people follow this!)

What i want to know is: HOW CAN THEY CHARGE SO MUCH AND PEOPLE PAY!!!

At the bottom the small print reads something like 4.50 (pounds ... i have no pound key :( ) A WEEK.. Thats like 234 quid a year for some ringtones! I am also told that once you subscribe, it is almost impossible to unsubscribe ... and then sometimes its an additional 50p for each game, ringtone etc.

Who actually subscribes for these things!!!!

I also want you to take a look at this. It illustrates my point of the stupid things people subscribe to. Follow the link but dont actuall entr your fone no.

They're counting on people not reading the fine print and thinking they're just getting a ringtone, rather than a subscription to something.

I would imagine there are a lot of angry parents out there getting $1,000+ cell phone bills! I laugh about that every time I see one of those commercials.
Yes, I know. Some people will fall for anything, and I guess as long as they do it'll keep going!
a fool and their money soon go seperate ways...and fools arent exactly in short supply!
Cos they are R-Tards
