The other day Ceilidh was watching TV. I was in another room and when I came through she was on the phone! I asked what she was doing and she said she was phoning a competition!! I told her no and explained that it cost too much to phone. All it was was a scooby Doo bag and to meet the cast.
The advert came back on and the number was on screen for ages! If a six year old can phone the premium number then anyone can! Mum's and Dads beware.

Oh dear :? These advertising agencies have no hearts do they (or no kids!)

They really pray on the innocent.

I always notice at Christmas that you cannot have the telly on for 5 minutes without adverts for the latest toys bombarding you. :?

Ceilidh is only 6, so I do not supposed she realised the cost involved....The TV programme is at fault here...

Thats the draw back of cable for you:( . Cartoon network is flooded with toy advets ect all the time.

I must admit I hadnt noticed to competitions before
