Play TV on TV3 "misleading, dishonest and unfair"

Except you exaggerated & embellished both of those examples.

1) I've seen some of those 'spot the difference' puzzles, and there's only ever one difference. There were no BCC complaints about that particular game either.

If you check the Playtv thread, you'll see that there has been a few occasions where there has been more than one difference. I'm talking about those pictures of 16 ladybirds or whatever.

2) It's never just something that the presenter is "thinking of" - it's always written down in a white envelope that's on display behind him/her.

Fair enough, the callers have to think of a thing written in a white envelope that is on display behind the presenter. Not seeing a big difference here.

By the way are you JG Murphy? I miss him, stopped watching when he left.

Some goverment minister Eamon Ryan is...........!!
Heard him on Matt Cooper alright, ringing Play TV 15 times.....He said he was asked who the lead singer of U2 was...When he was told Bono was incorrect he kept ringing in..........Took I while for the penny to drop Eamo.......:rolleyes:

Why so many dots and does it make you feel you get your false information across better? and NO Eamon Ryan was not told he was incorrect he was told he didn't make it through to the presenter and to try again.:rolleyes:

Brilliant quote from George Hook on his twitter page:

Play TV - after watching more episodes of the Shield last night I looked at TV3 - only neandertals could telephone and think they could win

Whatever happened to "A fool and his money are easily parted" and "Let the buyer beware"?
Why do we always have to cater to the lowest common denominator?

I disagree with Mr Hook on this one. In fact, I challenge him to find one genuine Neanderthal who phoned in thinking he could win.

The best I've seen so far was a puzzle where the number 2185 was spelt out with matches. The goal was to arrive at the highest number by moving exactly two matches, which turned out to be 2^1E5, or 2^100000, or approximately 9.99002093014384507944032764330033590980429139054181 x 10^30102. In decimal, the number is 30103 digits long.

That, m'lady, is a puzzle.

There is a certain element of genius in that, to be fair!

Hooky did a Q&A session a few weeks ago on the rugby forum: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055817876

Maybe you can challenge him when he comes on again.

I did not know that! Although I'd probably have been banned for going OT if I had asked.

After 11 phone calls the women was told no, at this stage the prize was about €600 and I suppose she had spent about €20 on calls.
She went for the final call and was told no again... the answer to the question was there were three sets of the photo's his, Brad's I mean

Well if your sad enough to sit up and look at that crap, life must be very dull, It's not for me...... :cool:
