peeved plus
Oct. 16th, 2004 04:07 pmI really detest current affairs shows... and Today Tonight especially.
McDonalds over here currently is giving away NeoPets with their Happy Meals, and part of that is of course directions on how to get to NeoPets on the web, apparantly a mother walked in on her 9 yo son playing one of the mini games on NeoPets, the poker one, and she went screaming off to Toady Tonight about how Maccas was encouraging her son to become addicted to gambling, so Maccas put pressure on NeoPets to ban ALL australian user from accessing any of the gambling mini games... thats ALL users, including adults..
I am so pissed cos I cant get to my fave neopet mini games.
heres the report from slashdot... I wondered why I couldnt access any of the good mini games, now i know why
