Title: You can pick your cases, and you can pick your models..
Post by: weaklink75 on April 18, 2008, 03:41:11 PM

but can you pick your cases' models?

Yes you can.... (http://\"http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20080417nbc03\")

(and this is a sneaky way to bring back the Lucky Case game without having any gambling issues, since it is also a beauty contest vote...you knew NBC would figure out a way to get the phone money back)

From the same source (http://\"http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20080418nbc02\"), it mentions Dubya's gonna be on Monday's show.

You mean, the "premium text message" charge was construed as gambling? Shocked! Shocked, I am!

/And am I the only one who sees "premium text messaging" as a sham, nevermind the "call in and lose" aspect?

Nope. Pretty much anything that is as heavily dependent on small print as the "premium text message" racket is firmly entrenched in "scam" territory as far as I'm concerned.

I'm personally hoping this one makes it through: http://www.nbc.com/Deal_or_No_Deal/model-s...os/Lisa-B.shtml (http://\"http://www.nbc.com/Deal_or_No_Deal/model-search/meet-models/bios/Lisa-B.shtml\")

And now a court in Georgia has thrown out a case involving the "DOND" Lucky Case game, more or less saying that a premium text message is not the same as a lottery ticket:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080421/ap_en_tv/deal_or_no_deal (http://\"http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080421/ap_en_tv/deal_or_no_deal\")

So we're back at Square One--and NBC will probably bring the Lucky Case game back after this contest ends.

Lisa Byrnes, late of "The Singing Bee", is one of tonight's choices. Vote and vote often.
