Default quiz call

I can not believe that ch $ have put this crap on T.V.

Fantastic, now parents can have huge phone bills when their kids ring up
this load of junk. Don;t people realise that you never win on these
channels, they are there to make money are all a con.

You can expect crap like this on Dast, but I never thought we would see
it on Freeview.

It should not have been allowed.

I was watching some programme (Watchdog?) where viewers were complaining
about these shows because the answers to some of the questions were a
bit odd and that the TV company would not, and didn't have to, explain
them. So yes, the allegation is that it is all a bit of a con.

Of course its a con, that make a few million pounds out of getting braindead
idiots to call a '60p a call line' and only a handful of the callers
actually get the chance to have a guess at the answer. Then when they've
made a major amount of money out of the braindead callers, they give away a
very small amount of it. When will the thickheads learn you get nothing for
nowt. The answers to many of the quizzes are bizzarre and probably couldn't
have been worked out by Einstein.

They work on the theory that theres one born every minute, and it seems to
be true.

Keep chucking your money away, you dimwit callers!

There's only one winner, and we all know who that is! (And for the dimwit
callers, ITS NOT YOU!)

I saw that as well, it was a couple of months ago, I think.

It is a con, you never win and if anyone do win, I bet that the person
who phoned up have been planted and they do not get anything anyway.
