"TEXT GIRLS to 78888"

[julian]

Im just watching tv here, and the adverts have come on...

"TEXT GIRLS to 78888"

"meeting girls has never been this easy"

etc.etc.


Im confused. Ive seen these adverts before, but ive *never* seen one directed at women to find men.


The cost is 75p per message, against whatever it costs to put a 45 second advert on tv in even off peak time.

I hate shit like that. It highlights that there must be more gullible people about than even i fear : (

Mate, the really scary ones are those that are targeting 16 yr old girls desperate to have a baby.

"Text GENDER to 61888 and we'll tell you whether your having a boy or girl"

!

I think there is even a baby naming one too!

i'm going to start a rival service, undercutting them by only offering low-rent names like 'Harvey'.

Isnt there laws about that kinda stuff?

I meen, the dating one may, i guess, have two females on the books, hence being technically accurate, however theres no way in hell someone can determine a foetuses gender over the phone?!?!

Thats what they are already doing bruv!

haha, i just remembered the other one they do!

"Text BOY INITIAL to 51888 and we'll tell you the initial of the person you'll marry"

Only £1.50 per message, new results sent to your phone EVERY week!

By my reckoning that is potentially a cool £40 per customer unless you send STOP to 51888 (i imagine most forget or don't)

I chatted to Fagz the other month in a club, she was wearing a mad outfit/wacky hat, she seemed well. If I see her again I'll tell her Slidey was asking after her.
