If you watch enough MTV and VH-1 like I do, then you have seen the Jamster ads where they make you think you can get free ringtones. Unfortunately it doesn’t work out like that and kids end up paying $1.99 per ringtone. This half-true advertising has landed Jamster in a jam, and the Verisign owned company has been sued in San Diego for fraud and false advertising. Any ideas on who else should be whipped in public for half-true advertising?
