Of course, that was the marketing spin. Others believed that it was just a sneaky way to give kids access to some of their parents’ cash so they could spend it online (parents usually had to set up an account with a certain amount of money that the kids could “manage”). While it got a lot of hype, it quickly went nowhere. However, now that so many people have forgotten what happened last time around, it’s no surprise that we’re seeing similar ideas — with new twists.

It even involves a fake credit report using “WhyCO” numbers designed to mimic FICO numbers. Of course, to get a good WhyCO number you have to be very involved in the Whyville virtual community. It’s being pitched (of course) as a way for kids to better understand things like car loans — but some might wonder why 8-year-olds really need to understand things like credit scores, debt and interest payments. Next thing you know, we’ll find out that these kids are being taught the importance of purchasing the extra warranty and the virtual undercoating as well…Did you know that First means the one coming, occurring, or ranking before or above all others.
