SHOCK!! HORROR!! Fake Chuggington thread <faint>

[AstroPup]

Here

It's so obvious its funny

I mean, obviously they have paid for the ad which is CONSTANTLY on active convos but does that also buy them the right to use the boards in this way?

Not a big deal, granted but its so amateurish as to be insulting to our intelligence...dont they know we're renowned for our nous??

[snigger]

They committed the rather obvious sin of kisses in names, mommas & mums, and too much damn time on youtube watching chuggington

Bravo!

[EachPeachPearMum]

Have you reported?

[AstroPup]

Yes, reported it.
Its so, so silly!

[FimboGotAxed]

I have posted on it - they must think we are stoopid.

[snigger]

I reported the fake parking tickets one, it seemed similar - rave op followed by incredibly fortuitous visit from md of company concerned offering mumsnet discount.

Pay for an ad, fool.

[AstroPup]

Oh yeah, that one was dire too!

[Saturn74]

Isn't the name spelt incorrectly in the title?

[AstroPup]

Yes it is!

I reckon someones due a stint on photocopying/tea making duties.

[PortAndLemon]

Also threads here, here and here.

Sigh.

So, panel members so far:

tamilla01
geelee
mum2mp
xkimblesx
drajayne
jpink
emilli
mommas
shash1

(gives deco benefit of doubt, because at least she's posted on other stuff).

You'd think that if they are recruiting panel members to promote the programme on parenting message boards they would recruit people who actually use parenting message boards. But maybe that isn't "forward-thinking" enough.

Gosh - what inspired names!

I think Chuggington's a pile of wank anyway. Ds seems totally bored by it - whenever it comes on he demands "Thomas!" although it sounds like he's saying "Dumbass"!

Maybe he is...

[Saturn74]

This could be a clever double bluff by the Thomas the Tank Engine contingent.
We could write and ask Ringo Starr, but he wouldn't write back.
Perhaps we'll never know for sure!

[PortAndLemon]

Awww... MN have deleted all the threads, along with my link to the Dubit newsletter...

[llareggub]

Well, it'll have to go on my list of things to avoid now, on principle.
