It might have sounded better if they hadn't put up any preconditions. :-P

Agreed. The kids are not being exploited here. They benefit.

Agreed again. This is relatively effective local advertising, and might get them a few sales. However, why does it have to be announced on the web as a "news" item? Will the placing of small advertisements in local evening newspapers be next? I can just see it now: "THENDIC PLACE ADVERTISEMENT IN LITTLE WOOTON HERALD!!".

If they did it, yes. If they announced it to the world, absolutely not. |
