Scamed

I've just been approached by an organization thats going to scam me. I say going to as I am going to comply with them completely, and give them exactly what they ask for in return for absolutely nothing. This is because the scam is completely legal and enforced by the law.

Thats right.

I'm about to get a television license.

While I do in fact own a television, I am not currently subscribed to a television provider (well, my Internet is supplied by one I suppose, but I digress), and there are no actual terrestrial signals available that could be picked up with an old fashioned aerial. So what am I paying for?

The right to posses receiving equipment. I checked the website but it doesn't actually say what I'm getting, just that I have to pay.

I love Ireland.

Like a sucking gunshot wound.
