Looks along the same lines to me as supermarkets issuing vouchers for computers or leading brands of certain foods encouraging people to buy crisps/snacks etc with tokens on that they can collect & exchange for sports equipment.

Only I suppose it's the children who 'benefit' directly not the schools.

Personally I think all of this stuff should be kept outside of the education system but suspect that the exercise equipment & computer vouchers schemes will have a far more worrying & long term impact than 13 year olds leafleting for McFly.

Reminds me slightly of the Simpsons episode where Bart, Ralph, Millhouse and Nelson are recruited to to be a boyband and send subliminal messages to joing the navy.

Hmmm, I wonder if there's another agenda here? Boyband music will always sell weather there's a decline in single sales or not.

I think your missing the point, these kids are listening to Boy Bands full stop. They require immediate help.

Very true that.

As much as I would like to help there is no hope for them, once the blonde hair dye goes in it never comes out!
