I've read the report Hamster. I know what they did.

Go on, threaten me with legal action..

"The advertisements were used to replaced [sic] a 'default' charity advertisement (one of Oxfam, Make Trade Fair or SOS Children's Villages)"

Charity ads promoting the interests of STARVING CHILDREN were over written by ads for WEIGHT WATCHERS.

Let me write that again for you.

Malnourished and STARVING CHILDREN were deprived of charity donations to allow Phorm to profit from selling advertising to fat overweight people who might join WEIGHT WATCHERS.
