I just don't feel that a great woman should be exploited like this. Do you honestly believe a girl will now strive to become a better person because she saw Mother Theresa on that quiz, or will she just start to associate her with some of the other slutty, no talent popprincess in the same "Great Women" quiz.

I've played the game a few times. I see nothing wrong with it. It's much better than some of the other sponser games out there. Rather than shoving the product in your face (as other sponser games have done). The game isn't even about the product. It's a trivia game about "Strong Women Who Sparkle" they're not trying to say that any of these women in the game use the product or endorse it, they're saying that these are women that didn't take a backseat in life and deserved to be recognized. While playing the game, the only indication that it even is a sponser game is the logo in the corner of the window. They could have made it an in-your-face game that screams "Buy our product!" but they didn't. They made it a game that teaches you something worth knowing, while subtly displaying their logo.
Why is it so bad? If they had tried to imply that Mother Theresa did use the product, then that would just be stupid. But they're doing nothing of the sort. As far as her presence there is concerned, I'm not a Christian, and I'm not offended. It wasn't her religion that made her great, it was her acts.
For some reason I don't look at it as "We're using Mother Theresa to advertise our product." Because they're really not, it's more like "We're using our money and our product to help make people aware of these great women, Mother Theresa included."
Yoplait yogurt has the "Pink lids to save lives" campaign. You eat the yogurt, and mail back the pink foil lid, and for each lid they give 10 cents to the Susan G. Koman breast cancer foundation. Are they exploiting cancer to sell their product? Or are they just putting their name on something for a good cause?

Shoot, I can remember at that age spraying some lemon stuff in my hair, thinking it would magically turn my hair super blonde. I didn't. But, I still did it. As did most of the girls in my class. Just a fad, like sparkly armpits, and really, boys, there is nothing wrong with a harmless fad. I can think of many, many, many worse things preteen girls could want than sparkly armpits.

Morningstar, you mean lemon juice really doesn't lighten your hair? Oh, I knew that . . . *hides bottle of lemon juice behind back*

No, pure lemon juice supposedly does lighten your hair. But, this stuff was more akin to lemon pledge. It actually turned my naturally blonde hair a brassy orange color and, like atomic blonde mentioned, turned it to straw. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it, but it was really popular way back in time. To be something like a California blonde--if there is really such a thing.

And, jas, I miss that game, too. It was really easy to get a few thousand nps in a few minutes time. And, I actually felt, at times, like I was using my brain, instead of just clicking my mouse or space bar over and over.

Oh has anyone gotten the newest Neopets magazine? It's a shame they took the game off the site, there's a full page ad for Secret "the Sparkle Collection" for Tropical Radiance Trying to figure out why anyone would want to smell like pear, violet, berry or peach:P

*Gasps*

You don't know?!

It's because fruity armpits are the hottest trend! Everyone has them! Stinky Aguilera, Berry Spears... =D

Armpits are the new dating essential, and anyone who's armpits don't sparkle and smell is a L-O-S-E-R!
