Text Flirt

#1 Postby southerngale » Sat Jan 06, 2007 2:56 pm

Ok, so I've gotten used to seeing all the 1-900-CALL-A-SLUT commercials, but TEXT FLIRT? Pick up your cell phone and text me...we'll have fun.

Are you kidding me? Does anyone actually DO this stuff?


If I am ever that desperate, please shoot my eye out.

I just saw it for the first time last night. I don't remember what channel. I had been watching Frasier earlier and just never changed the channel when I got up to do other things. I was walking through the living room and saw the commercial and I was like...omgosh, you have GOT to be kidding me. They looked like fools.

Saw the commercial weeks ago. I'm with you Southerngale, if I am ever bad off enough to pay people to text flirt with me I am going to tin foil my windows and adopt 20 cats.

Still not as bad as the head on commercial.

Between those types of commercials and the Girls Gone Wild commercials every few minutes... it drives a shift-worker insane!

I know dozens of guys who call those numbers, then brag about it. It's geared towards the younger generation. I've been with people in class sending sex/flirt text's to their boyfriends/girlfriends.

One thing you may not realize with your kids, every now and then they ARE talking "dirty" with their instant messengers and their cell phones.

conestogo_flood, I have a teenage daughter, and check her myspace and totally realize that people even teenagers send dirty little messages, but this is like a 1.99 per message they send or something plus any cell phone charges. Call me cheap but that's just crazy.

I don't have any teenagers... lol - I'm talking about PAYING to send these text messages back and forth to strangers, not to your bf/gf. You know dozens of guys who PAY to do this with strangers?

I text friends (much faster now that I know how to use the T9 function), sometimes flirtatiously. But to pay for it...and with a stranger? Uh, no.... Ain't that lonely. :lol:

I actually agree with you senor.........those two commercials drove me slap a$$ crazy for the past couple of days!

And you know it costs you .99 to 1.99 per message that you RECEIVE! Read the small print. That is what you call hard up! You can go on line and flirt like you know what for free and probably even go further than that!

I knew a guy once who ran up bills over $1,000 in one month on 900 numbers.

For that kind of money you could get a nice date.

There's so many shysters out there looking to separate people from their money.

Teenagers are a great market because they are suckers for anything new and exciting and they are good at separating their parents from their money.

My 15 year old wanted a full-feature cell phone for christmas. NOT.
