Thread: chosen for nielsen ratings...

I was sitting in my recliner when the door bell rings and a lady standing there with a basket of candy asks me if this was "insert my address"? I replied yes, then she tells me we have been chosen by the nielsen ratings to represent our area for tv ratings. I explained to her that now was not the best of times and told her I would call and possibly set up something for the weekend t discuss this, but got to reading the brochure and it seems they also want to monitor our internet. WTF?? we do all our banking online not to mention I do some investing online too. Then it strikes me! should I be looking out the window for black SUV's? lol

Why bother? She said something about getting paid, but not much. No one is going to monitor anything I do online! that much is certain, at least not with me knowing. Anyone else do this?

i did this on my tv a few years ago, but not on internet. It wasn't bad, the little system got kinda aggravating at times though. Its probably a different system now. Its not much money, but it was a nice surprise every 6 months or so, till i moved.
