Exploiting kids with sweets...

Now - not much winds me up - and although I spend AGES and AGES reading this site, I generally don't post - especially new thread - as just finding which board to put them on without getting shouted at would cause me a lack of sleep... :P

However - in my MONEY SAVING travels - I found this site;

http://www.sweetcollect.co.uk/smarties.php

It's you usual FREEBIE site (or so you'd think) but it appears to be targetted at a much younger generation.

Free tube of smarties for signing up... Adult or child target?

And then - a free sherbet twizzle straw thing for every offer you complete...

I personally feel this is aimed at a younger generation than the adults that these referral links are intended for - and children shouldn't be giving details of their mobiles/telephone numbers/contracts/income and all sorts to sites like this.

Hey - I think it's wrong. Maybe I've gotten my @ss in my hand over nothing here - but with the whole campaign to get debt ads off childrens tv stations during daytime hours (which is a bloody good point) I just thought it was apt.

Stay well clear of that site. I've known others sign up to it and get e-mail boxes full of spam and no sweeties

And spam does not taste as good, no matter what you do with it. Give me a mint Aero bar any day...:D

But it's mainly the fluffy appeal to kids that p*sses me off. How much does mummy and daddy get on their mortgage? Tell us they're in deby and we'll send you a tube of smarties to use as a pretend telescope when we've taken the house from your parents...

Children shouldn't be surfing the internet without supervision anyway!

Children shouldn't be uneducated theiving little twits who terrorise pensioners and have no sense of morals or discipline as well....

But of course- that's not the world we live in is it?
