Smart, yet depressing advertising from the Netherlands

[Lukraak_Sisser]

Recently I've seen a new advert here in the Netherlands that makes me kinda sad for two reasons.
Basically it entails that if you text your name to a certain number, they'll tell you about your past life.

I'm sad that so many people believe this due to horrible TV mediums and the like that this service can exist.
And I'm even sadder that *I* didn't think of that way to become really rich off of other peoples gullibility.

Have you tried it?

I'd be willing to bet that everyone was a prince/princess/samurai/knight or similarly exciting and romantic in a past life according to this lot.

They wouldn't last long if the reply was ''You were a farm labourer who did nothing exciting, ever''

Let's see if the company is still around in six months.

Or "You died of a childhood illness at two and a half."

Or "You died of a childhood illness at two and a half."

Oh I don't know - that would be a great way to automate the system.

Or "You died of a childhood illness at two and a half."

Or ''you were stillborn and killed your mother.''

Actually, these would be loads more convincing as evidence of past lives

Nope, no clue WHAT it costs to send the text, but I'm sure its more than I'm willing to pay

You could just be honest about it:

"There is no evidence that would support the idea that you ever had a past life. This life is all you will get, life it to the fullest."

(You might add something about how you as the service provider are you living your life to the fullest thanks to the 1,20€ you hzst earned ...)

It's got to be a lead in to some way of gouging you for regular text message charges too.
