Once loaded it is really a trojan to pop up ads and some say unwittingly turns your machine into a big zombie spammer.

ur point being fatboy?????
what? that some lowlife scamming hacker webmaster played a trick to get someone to buy there crap? well fuck man, thats not advertising or any form of marketing. thats just being illegal due to the fact that someone has taken control of someone elses personal property illegally. & WTF does that have to do with AFF? did I miss this part of the story where AFF is performing these acts? or are you just pointing out another form of ???

fake profiles = fraud



not sure why people don't get that. someone is purchasing a membership based on what you represented the site to be and its content. it has nothing to do with "fantasy" or "marketing" any more than any other type of misrepresentation of a product does. its 100% illegal.

pointing out other acts of fraud does not make any particular act of fraud more legal... no matter how accepted, tolerated or prolific it is.

ok, try this again ...

CREATING FAKE PROFILES IS NOT FRAUD !!!
I can't make it any simply than this:....
Who is the #1 fakest profile or character that exists on the planet today? that is used by millions to sell products everytime, this time of year?
Who is the #1 fake marketing and make up used profile on the planet now that even "us" as adults indulge in believeing to convince our minors of a false person or character to purchase or sell a product?

His name is Santa Clause !!!

If its ok to create this fantasy fake fatman in a red suit that helps major department stores & multi million dollar business sell products and convince our children that this fat fuck truly exits so we can create an excuss to spend money.
well I can't find a better example than this.

So, AGAIN, CREATING FAKE PROFILES IS NOT DECEPTIVE OR ILLEGAL. as long as there's this Fat Fake Fuck or some sort of freaking easter rabbit running around, or because theres some girl on a broomstick with a long nose, and a wicked laugh trying to make me purchase products, candy, or toys. There all bogus, deceptive, and fake. So whats the difference between this and some hot looking babe on a profile? THERE IS NONE

dude... your fucking dumb ass childhood fantasies and crushed spirit after finding out half way through life that there is no santa claus has nothing to do with deceptive and fraudulent business practices. your stupid fucking flawed and rediculous examples of fantasy characters aiming at children has nothing to do with the law.

here's an idea dipshit. create a celeb dating site. grab public domain pics and advertise profiles of jessica alba, jessica simpson and 3000 other hot stars and create profiles saying they are all looking for a typical, fat, middle aged slob with a low IQ and shitty job "so join now to talk with me today" and see how far you get. afterall... being deceptive is 100% legal according to you and totally ok. so why not do the obvious and own the dating market.

i can't believe a human being can be this stupid and not be on life support, in a padded cell, fully restrained and being fed intravenously for his own safety and that of those around him. do us all a favor and at least wear your helmet when you leave the house.

yeah but will Santa come to your house and suck your cock?

sorry, I just see a HUGE difference between the use of the Santa icon at this time of year and the use of fake profiles for dating sites.

fake profiles, esp the way AFF does it is DEFINITELY unethical. It makes them money yes... and their affiliates. God knows you cant go very many sites any more that dont show you skantily clad vixens in suggestive poses right from your immediately surrounding area. And the girls move around a lot because with my VPN turned on they are all from a northern state, with it off they are from atlanta (my carrier is out of Atlanta)

from an online dicttionary;

Apparently the point I'm attempting to get across is not fully sinking in.

The whole point of my examples "using the candy, the truck, and the jolly red man" are not to state that AFF is doing the right thing, if I own a dating site I would not embed bogus profiles myself.

The point Im trying to get across, "which might of got carried away in this thread" is as follows:

They can't take someone to court and accuse them of doing malicious practices, when most of the advertising industry does the same.

How come its ok to hire some lowlife drunk of the street and stuff a pillow in his gut, put him in a red suit, and then line up our children nation wide thu out just every mall or store in America and let our children sit on some strangers lap and whisper bulshit into there ears about how he's coming down down the chiminey with toys & gifts. or have him stand out side every mall or store ringing a bell to get people to donate money for the salvation army.

There just examples, are they right thing to do? NO.
But it's being done now for centuries, and no one ever said anything about it, it was okey dokey to do.
So how can you attempt to sue someone for impersonating a character on a dating website but allow all the rest of the bullshit to fly?
So your all saying if AFF make bogus profiles of Santa and donated the $$$ bucks, then its alright? thats BULLSHIT !!

When I say its ok with what there doing, I mean in the standards of most publicity and marketing advertising which everyone else is doing the same thing, you can't pick out just one and try to bring them down.
while they let the rest of them slip by.
