Now here's a daft thing, really pathetic in fact.I was, the other day, Googling a bar in London and came across a review about it on a site called "World's Best Bars".
Fair enough, I clicked on the link and was confronted with a page asking me to verify that I was over 18 (by entering my date of birth) in order for me to to be able to be granted access to the site.
Quote:
"You need to be of legal drinking age to enter our website."
Why???
Needless to say, I didn't waste my time, and simply moved on to another site.
On the assumption that the site was not in fact some cover for porn or something, precisely why should an under 18 year old not read a review about a bar?
Do those who make up these rules assume that the mere reference to alcohol will cause an under 18 year old to become addicted to booze?
For good measure, there is also a link to "drink aware" on the date of birth entry form.

Ken,
ReplyDeleteIt is likely to be about data collection, I suspect that after the date of birth, they would want your name and email address....There's money to be made in selling the contents of databases.
It is called indoctrination,and it conditions the public to ask themselves if they are "allowed" to do such and such,and it has so rotted the moral fiber of the indigenous population that they will do nothing for themselves anymore,not even think.
ReplyDeleteWhat would stop someone under 18 filling in a false date of birth?
