Re: Chav Media Coming Soon?
How much did that little stunt cost?
However much, it would have been better spent on network upgrades or God forbid better training for some of their staff.

I would speculate most of the people so amused by such crass ***** that they want to sign up to VM can only afford to pay the bare minimum or will be needing to replace their dodgy modems when they go offline.

Better training would be the way to go for some staff to say the least.

Yep that would be that group of users we call "LETS ALL JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON OF THE DAY GROUP"
Seen that sort of thing happen here as well, remember the spider man advert that EVERYONE was so up in arms over they were writing to anyone that they could. Even the file sharers :roll eyes:
At the end of the day there is much more important things happening in this world happening that they could spend there obvious spare time on instead of a page full of something you would possibly see on a bill board somewhere in the uk. Its a bit of fun get over it and move on to something important

I guess I must be getting old and/or a prude. Just seems utterly vulgar to me and somewhat embarrassing to be a customer of the Sunday Sport of ISPs.
Next presumably will be Roy 'Chubby' Brown as spokesman.<deleted>

Utterly vulgar might be a bit of a stretch, being an admirer of the female form myself, but it is a cheap shot for sure, reading between the lines I,d say VM must be more than a little concerned if they need to stoop this low.
Well one thing you can say about Chubby is he wouldn't sugar coat it like you suggested

Free publicity in one of Sky's own rags must be pretty priceless.

Yeah just showing how pathetic and petty their competition really is.
Priceless.
Reminds me of the time when Sky pulled the plug on their channels and Virgin posted stupid things in its place on the channel numbers like "Sky Snooze for Sky news".
