   Sure they do: especially when their mommy calls them up and screams at   
   them about the cell phone bill that daddy is screaming about to her.   
      
   There are *STILL* "influencers" roaming middle- and high-school   
   corridors, showing off the "best" "new" "great" and  instruments to gullible pre-pubescent female   
   customers whom are able to get their mommy's credit card and their   
   behinds to the cell phone store. There is *REAL* money at stake, and   
   the guy at the cell phone store wants it.   
      
   Pre-pubescent teenage females: that's who buys pop music and expensive   
   cellphones.
