Hilarious, yet potentially immoral?

I am a member of the Bzzagent website and I just came across this website that is SO FUNNY, but I have mixed feelings about it because it's sort of one of those services that could be helpful but has the potential for being very naughty.  It's called SlyDial.
Check it out:

I believe it is totally legit. If you look further through the website, you'll see that there's a $.15 per use charge when you sign up or you can get the service for $24.95 a year. I totally want to try it, too, but... not sure I want the charge... I bet those could add up!
Bzzagent is an online company that I signed up for. The site is basically the foundation for word of mouth advertising. There's a ton of company's that have signed up to have their web site's/products featured and you get points for giving your opinion on products and web sites. I just finished a "campaign" where they sent me A bag of Hill's Science Diet Nature's Best dog food. It didn't cost me anything and everytime I talk with someone about the product, I just log on and send them a "Bzzreport" which details the conversation. Then I get points for my reports. The points are redeemed through MyPoints.com and you can get gifts certificates to lots of places. The more "bzz" you participate with, the higher your status can get and you get invited to join campaigns sooner than "agents" with less status. My friend, Debi, has been doing this for a few months and gotten a ton of "free" stuff in the mail to try. And they cater your campaigns to your interests... like, obviously, they knew I had a dog!
