Trouble on line

Two grown men going on-line
Thinking to trawl the internet
Seeking out a few dubious sites
Seeking out a few ladies of the site
They didn't read the fine print
Didn't think to check it all out
Only thought to enjoy themselves
As was their individual right...
They checked out all those women
Leered at the half dressed ladies there
Weeks later on came the phone bill
From the telephone company
Hundreds off dollars put onto our phone bill
They had refused to give their credit card number
Said "no: we're not paying into that account!
We'll just browse the areas: those irreputable sites"
It was the middle of 2003: only early days
They contacted the Ombudsman to complain
Filled out a few forms to tell their tale
It was most certainly not deliberate
Two different companies thought to make money: fast
Were unscrupulous in their dealings
But eventually they lost the fight
The Telephone Information Services Standards Council

Came to their aid: decided to set a standard
Made those two companies reimburse
Made them retreat: made them cease  
As they were being sneaky in the way 
They deliberately trapped unsuspecting customers
Hiding beneath the fine print of their conduct
It just goes to show you: there are many out there
Trying to make their fortunes from the needs
Of unsuspecting internet travellers
Thinking to trawl some naughty late night sites...
