22% (4)I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick of hearing about these SMS companies on the TV.
It's like this, the adult ones show some ugly as hell blond chick, in a white bra and underwear moaning like: "AHH AHHHH AH OHH AHHH AHHH!" like she's yelling. And all she's doing is rolling on a bed in doggy-style. And then it's like: "Text F L I R T (said letters individual) to [this number] for the sexiest chat around. Text Ef El Aye Are Tee".
Now, this is complete bull right. It costs five dollars to sign up. And they send you two reverse cost messages at 2.50 - 5.00 dollars per message. For what? Some computer to send you messages about how much it wants to sexually please you? No thanks.
Then there is the other one, like Jamsta or some other stupid companies. "SMS [some code] to [some number] to get [some ring tone]". These just bug me. Same prices as before with annoying ring tones.
The final one is the numerology love rating bull. This one REALLY bugs me. "SMS you and your partners name to [some number] to get your love compatable score. Serously... Who the hell falls for this? Numerology sums up to: Everything has a place between 0 - 9. So if you want to use an example, Lisa and I (Lee).
L = 12
I = 9
S = 19
A = 1
E = 5
In the alphabet. So, Lee = 12 + 5 + 5 = 22. Now, numerology says, it must be between 0 and 9. So, 2 + 2 = 4. Lee = 4. Lisa = 12 + 9 + 19 + 1 = 41. 4 + 1 = 5. Lisa = 5.
So, Lee = 4 and Lisa = 5. Now that's pretty damn close. And guess how much I paid for some bull numerology thing? NOTHING! No two text message reverse charge crap for me.
Anyone who uses these services is an idiot... Seriously. They're not necessary. Any sound offered can be gotten from the Internet. Uploaded to phone via cable, for the cost of nothing... End of story.

Apparently there are morons who are texting away to this garbage. I have always felt that these commercials are taking the place of the late night phone sex hotlines and internet pop-ups that are now auto-blocked.

This post speaks the truth.

Don't forget about the sexy singles in my area that want to do nothing but talk to me. That's right. There are tons of sexy singles that want nothing more than to talk for hours to a guy that hates interacting with people and spends all of his time sitting in his basement. Yes, these same sexy singles that are seen ON TV(that's right, TV singles too!) playing beachball in bikinis.
By the way, where the fuck is the ocean around here? I mean, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen all of the area, but the closest water source to me is Lake Ontario. And there are no beaches that look like the commercial. Trust me, I've been all the way 'round it. I feel so deprived of the sexy beachball playing tv singles in bikinis. =( | |
When you think about it, its not that stupid. Just the people who use the service. Not only does whoever created these SMS companies make money off this, but hes tricking stupid people into giving him money for a service that he barely has to work on. He probably just sits around and counts his money while a bunch of horny lonely guys text chat bots and give away their money.

The ones that are most obnoxious to me are the "text JOKE to 55455" ones, especially the Yo Mama ones. Yo Mama jokes fell out of fashion in, what, 1995?
You pay anywhere from C$1 to C$2 per message and you subscribe to at least 5 messages per week (some of the businesses send 10 messages per week!). That's anywhere from $260 per year to $1040 per year! | |
What I find really dumb are the "text to play our mini-game" ads that NBC does during its game shows. (During Last Comic Standing they do a joke line.) The prize is usually $10K; the charge to text is a buck or two plus whatever your service charges. These stupid ads can basically bankroll the entire show.

Lummox, you need to get on this trend. Fill the BYOND bank account with this scam.

Lummox is a BYOND employee, he doesn't own BYOND. He would be filling Tom and Dan's bank account.

It's like this, the adult ones show some ugly as hell blond chick, in a white bra and underwear moaning like: "AHH AHHHH AH OHH AHHH AHHH!" like she's yelling. I hate that one so much. It's an ad so it's louder than the show that's on, and coupled with the fact she's yelling you can hear it a mile away. I always feel like I have to go explain to my neighbors that I'm not watching obnoxiously loud porn. What I don't get is why that's meant to get you on the line with them. All it shows is that she's clearly faking it. Either the invisible man is giving her a sound rogering or she's having an orgasm without any physical contact what so ever. I know some pretty easily stimulated women, but even they don't get off on practicing sexual positions. Then again all that junk seems to be aimed at teenagers so it just needs to get attention. All it takes is one in ten to have a non-prepaid account and you're made. | |

The service in the fine print, the horridly small, impossible to read fine print, says you must be over eighteen. But there is no way to verify a phone user IS over eighteen. This is another reason they should be canned. If I had to search long and hard for pornography when I was a kid, like hell am I going to sit idly by when kids these days get it delivered on a silver platter. | |
