So I was at a family get together and my 10 year old niece wanted to show Grandma her Webkinz so she went to the website on grandma's computer. Since she had never logged on to the site from this computer it made her go through a terms of agreement page and I was called over because the "I Accept" button didn't work. I had to explain that it was one of those instances where they made you scroll to the end of the text before the "I Accept" button was enabled. The computer had one of the nipple pointers in the keyboard so it wasn't easy to drag the scroll bar so I just let her down arrow through the agreement. It was scrolling faster then anyone could read and it still took 15 to 30 seconds to scroll through it all. This is a kids site.
Now I hate these license agreement/terms of agreement things to start with because I don't know anyone who actually reads them and they're about as useful in a law court as nipples on a bull.... but do they really think that having kids clicking on "I agree" absolves them of anything?
