scams & cheats in radio & tv

[cool]

interesting reading about the 'scam' on channel 5 under The Mint.That reminds me about a problem I had with local radio.I used to phone up their quizzes such as guess the popstar.After a few guesses they would reveal more clues. I armed with my memory and library kept getting it early, until one fatal night when I got it with just the year of birth and place of birth.I phoned the radio station with the correct answer within 5mins of the quiz starting only to be told they would get back to me & they never did.Quiz finished an hour later.Their arguement presumably is the same as Laurels that I couldnt win to give others a chance.Would they say the same about Tiger Woods or Michael Schumacher?We should be given a licence to wreak havoc through pub quizzes , radio & tv shows and machines.It should be the survival of the fittest.Just because a sizeable proportion of people are like extras from Shaun Of The Dead shouldnt be our problem!
