Too Much Sex Too Early in the Morning

Phone Handsets and Networks, posted: 24-MAY-2007 20:49

Recently part of my morning routine has been to read the news on Vodafone Live's feed from Stuff.co.nz while waiting for the bus. Timely and convenient delivery of news, events and current affairs isn't the only thing that Vodafone Live has to offer, though. A brief perusal of the Vodafone Live homepage over the last few mornings revealed links to interesting content such as:

"Nikki in her knickers."

"Horny, busty babes."

"Stripping babes get horny."

Now, I've come to expect this sort of filth when I arrive at work and open my email inbox, but to see it on an information and entertainment portal administered by a reputable company like Vodafone is nothing short of disgraceful.

Show some moral decency and social responisibility, Vodafone. It's widely acknowledged that children in their early teens, and even younger, now have access to multimedia capable mobile phones and one can only wonder what impressions they are given about how to treat the opposite sex when tasteless rubbish like this is handed to them on a platter.

I'm amazed that parents and Internet watchdog groups have not displayed outrage, but perhaps this is a reflection of how out of touch they really are with what young people can and do gain access to as a result of their ever increasing technological tools and knowledge.

Hi Alastair
You make a good point, fully agree.

as i have said many times before, vodafone live is shit. It's the slowest, buggiest, unbookmarkable monster of a portal. Ask anyone, and no one will have anything nice to say.
Telecom's of course is just as bad. Telstra in australia however is fantastic!

Sex, chat, and the skin pictures are currently the big cash cow for vodafone, so they will milk the cow until it's either dry or it causes some bad press. I have been saving these pages and images for a while so now might be the time to post em up!
