Deceptive advertising on this site!
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 9:26 amAt the top of the page when I opened this site something that looked like a dialog box appeared with the text:
"You have 2 messages" and "One of your buddies thinks you are stupid!"
I thought that it was FROM this forum. But if the "message fragment" was not insulting enough, it turns out the whole thing is actually a deceptive advertisement for some sort of text message game for cell phones.
I OBJECT!
ADVERTISEMENTS MUST have a CLEARLY DISCERNABLE disclaimer that it is an ADVERTISEMENT and not something else.
I call for a complete boycott of the advertiser for all services and/or products they offer. If they cannot play by any rules of decent behavior they don't deserve patronage by those they seek to deceive. PERIOD.
