If you own a cell phone, and you DON'T know what charges are being levied to you, let me know who you are because I have a bridge in Nantucket to sell.<BR/><BR/>Accept it, the judge saw what any normal, sane person would see in this case. The plaintiffs here were upset that their phone bills were so high, and wanted somebody else to pay for their mistakes.<BR/><BR/>This is the same thing as these kids who send hundreds of text messages and pictures to their friends, and then mom and dad get stuck with the phone bill.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and another point, the "Lucky Case Game" is no more, their promotion now allows people to text in their choice for the next model on the show. Yes, there still is a drawing for $10,000, and there is STILL the free way to enter the drawing by going to the DOND website at NBC.com. The major change is that now, the game is now not played in GA as well as a few other states and locations, which btw is where the "sore losers" were from.<BR/><BR/>A few have taken away this from the many.<BR/><BR/>I compliment the judges on this one. Your choice to play, your choice to pay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
