Australia has plenty of them, the kind where you send a single SMS and get placed on a subscription which costs anywhere between $40-$100 a month. (Each regular message they initiate is charged to your phone bill)
For a while the ads were reasonably risque, for free to air TV in Australia anyway (bare boobs, hands wandering vaguely around groin area etc), but there was new legislation passed and they've been toned down now.
There's shitloads more ads for mainstream stuff like ringtones. Some of those 15 year old girls whose phone is like an extra limb must spend a fortune on this crap... and half the time they probably don't even realise they're being scammed.
