did anyone see this on the news?

while i don't condone the way they are trying to make money... the people being stung by this obviously deserve it! its natural selection!!!
did they not read the print at the bottom of the screen? it's pretty clear if you ask me!

stupid people!

i bet they are the same people that txt'd into NZ Idol a thousand times thinking it wouldn't cost them anything as they had $10 texting!

stupid people rule this country... stupid people live in it... it's kind of fitting i guess!

I have seen those ad's a few times... $3 a text... 5 multi choice questions... (not just one!)... and then it says 5 times a month... unless you reply stop or something... I think it would prob be more likey that kids would grab mum or dads phone n rack up huge bills trying to win a $3000 LCD TV that no-one will prob ever win anyway!...

it's all adults on the news that were complaining.

that reminds me, any one EVER win a car from those timeshare companies in the malls all the time - is it all a hoax? cos i never hear of a winner.

Maybe they need stronger glasses then... I saw that ad a few times last night and you CAN read the costs at the bottom... but most people were prob too busy looking at their phones texting to enter...

Some dickhead at work did this on my phone and I'm struggling to explain that one.

like you said, read the small txt at the bottom. However when i saw it on the news this text was missing from the broadcasts...

that chick on the adds is alright, doesnt look half bad in her 'gym' uniform. Pity she sounds like such a fucking dorris.

How would they make any money doing that?

**James Deuce** · 12th January 2007, 10:59

Looks like about 3 different contests.
