Shem Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 What is wrong with some people! http://www.parentdish.com/2008/07/16/virgin-mobile-asks-kids-to-strip-for-charity/?icid=200100397x1205812405x1200291736 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 OMG... ...WTH were they thinking? Kiddie pr0n for charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totenkopf Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Not exactly unexpected. Telecom makes a lot of money off porn via the web and cable, so not that much of a stretch for one of those outfits to go this route. Pathetic, but not all that surprising.

Jason Skywalker Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'd like to know what the heck were they smoking when they came up with that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igyman Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'm not sure if I should have a LOL, or a WTF reaction to that "idea". Maybe I'll try the WTF/LOL combo this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jae Onasi Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 That's outrageous.

ChAiNz.2da Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 *Jae puts Virgin Mobile on the short list of companies who will never receive her business* * curses the fact he has AT&T service * Why oh why didn't I go with Virgin I KEEED! Seriously, this has a lingering "ick" factor to it... and I'm quite sure it wasn't just that charitable groups that were miffed. I'm pretty sure some parents out there wanted to do some headhunting. Victoria Wagner, chief executive of NN4Y, says the program is now being re-evaluated. "It's unfortunate it's become so explosive," she said. I don't buy it. I WORK in Marketing.. we know for darn sure when we run a campaign what it's objectives are and it's target audience. This is exactly what they anticipated. Because it is true (to an extent)... "There's no such thing as bad press". Stunts like this just smear the news/web sites with their product name... for free. Yeah, it may not reflect well.. but this stunt will be a non-factor in about a month, but in the meantime they'll (Virgin) be reaping the benefits after-the-fact.

stingerhs Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 i'm with Phreak on this one. shoot, just take a trip to the mall if you want to see under-15-somethings wearing little shorts and skimpy tops.

Det. Bart Lasiter Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well, I'm guessing a lot of the kids who'd actually take part in this are already doing **** like this for free on Myspace and YouTube, so uh... whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
