    But that's just cheating!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,581 ✭✭✭uberwolf


    it's prob not cheating to be fair - no one votes in these things that actually decides the genuinely bonniest babe before lifting the phone.

    How much is this going to cost anyone that does it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 beasaint


    yeah theres FAR too many babies to be decidin the bonniest!

    Every time i hear the words "baby contest" i always think of the words "Pat Mustard" and laugh uncontrollably

    Well I think it is cheating. She is asking for people to vote for her nephew who is in a baby beauty contest yet there is no pic of him. Voting is meant to be coz the public feels they are the cutest baby. But there's link to a pic of him. And the call probably costs a bomb!! Just use the re-dial button!!

    P.S. who's Pat Mustard??

    lol theres alot of hairy babies on craggy island. He was a character on father ted

    What a load of bull crap, a bonny baby comp via txting, i am so fed up of every crappy txt service, now this rubbish its taking up about 10 pages in the middle of the sunday world every week, i tore em out and used them to start the fire,

    I hate txt services especially that F*****g frog,

    Regards netwhizkid

    Ps i hope your nephew wins though

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭stagolee


    if he won baby 1798 surely hes a little old to enter for baby 2005? :confused:

    hmmm i suspect this kids a ringer he's actualy 207 years old , he just looks young for his age :p

    EDIT: theres a picture of baby 1798 in my sig
    '''''''''''''''''''\/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭petals


    Lol his name is Michael not baby 1798.
    I'm not sure how much it costs but you'd only be on for 20 secs. All you do is ring 1513 131 314 and after the tone type 1798 as the baby you want to vote for.

    How is it cheating


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    How are we supposed to make an informed decision without some sort of dialog about the baby? I don't know this baby from baby 1523, what makes him so special?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 223 ✭✭namaimo


    Pic for proof of baby 1798/ Michael's cutness please. ;)

    a 207 year old baby is pretty special.

    pretty ugly baby, tbh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 240 ✭✭Ms Beanbag


    All the babies are v.cute. Too difficult a choice IMO :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 688 ✭✭✭skye


    Don't agree with this "tactic" either. My nephew is also in there and I would never dream of asking people to vote for him - the point is to let people make up their own minds. I think my nephew is amazing and don't need others to confirm it for me. So many kids in there anyway - will only be family and friends who vote, the winner will have the biggest family network. Fairly shady move though to be on here asking strangers to vote for yours - don't mean they are the cutest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,057 ✭✭✭kjt


    Have a picture of this ugly baby? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 328 ✭✭Tiffany


    All babies look the same. And I'd rather waste my money making prank calls than voting for some baby I don't know.
