    The comments section on the story is like the Daily Mail++...so far there's 'that's not funny it's God's soul and shouldn't be played with', 'the website is satanic' and 'this must be how Obama got into power/got his healthcare bill through'.

    Nuts.

    They couldn't put "You must pay us £100000" in the T&Cs and this would be considered the same...

    Well assuming there is such a thing as a soul and also assuming Hell exists. Then from what I have heard they are not too bothered about fair terms and conditions so it would probably be enforceable there :eek:

    Nuts.

    Is it not more worrying how an established company tries to do this? Was someone within their marketing department bored?

    Personally, I find this a rather worrying thing. Whilst this was clearly a 'jest' (and didn't we all laugh...) it does make a mockery of terms and conditions and, in particular, how zillions of people sign up without looking at them.

    It was an April fools which was also making a point.

    That's the point they were making. Yanks saying it's no laughing matter that it's God's soul and not for sale and it must be satan that put it in the website is more worrying.
