You see 'em everywhere. Mostly in MTV and VHI commercials. The one where they tell you to text to JOKE 85050 (or something like that) and you get the "funniest jokes in america".

Have any of you ever tried it? hahaa, and tell me what you think of it! happy.gif

my cousin did that & the jokes were stupid. mostly like dumb blonde jokes mellow.gif. or there are the horoscope ones... i think its a waste of money imo. you could just go on the internet & look it up. some of those jokes are just lammmme.

I loathe them... When I decide to watch tv, those commercials are on and they're annoying. I hate comercials, in general lol!. Annoying... unfunny jokes. mellow.gif

I also loathehaving to look through a good magazine and finding them on every other page. WTH. Seriously, THEY ARE A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY. You're charged like a buck per text. I'd rather NOT pay 30$ a month just to have a silly joke (which can be found on the interweb) sent to my phone. Waste of time, space, and money. tongue.gif

dunno whats worse, those lame commercials.. or the people that actually get it -.-

i mean really, how boring do you have to be to sign up for something like that? o.O
Chii
those commercials are so freaking cheesy, why on earth would anyone sign up for that crap unless they're like 10 or something?

you must be really pathetic if you need to rely on some joke you had to pay for to entertain people.

It seems like they come on a lot more at night too. I hate 'em! I wanted to try the one where you get your horoscope on your cell phone daily, though. I think it's fun reading my horoscope. :P
