I think we've all become complacent about reading the various agreements online and instead we tend to scroll to the end and check the "I agree" box. I think it is probably okay when it is a company you deal with on a regular basis but the following is an example of what could happen to all of us. A WiFi provider in the UK (Purple) staged a gag to call attention to the importance of knowing what you're agreeing to. If you checked the "I agree" box without reading the conditions Purple laid out for you,you were agreeing to do 1,000 hours community service which included: cleaning parks of animal waste,manually clearing sewage blocks,cleaning portable toilets at events and festivals,and scraping chewing gum off the streets. On the upside if you read the agreement and understood the joke you would be awarded a prize...only one customer qualified for the prize.
