Kids and TV watch out!!!!


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...

Re: Kids and TV watch out!!!!


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
