Here is some important information on cell phone demographics from Wilson Electronics (found on Mashable Mobile). I can attest that Hong Kongers and Singaporeans are obsessed with mobile culture. Mobile phone kiosks and sales centers are probably the only street front locations rivaling real estate brokerages, hair salons and banks. 
This provides me with a convenient excuse for posting this video of the famous Hong Kong "Bus Uncle" who was captured on a cell phone while berating someone for asking him to tone it down. The language used is as fowl as it gets.

With a maximum of two working ears per person, I was happy to see no country averaged higher than 2 cell phones per capita.
But there are people running round with three. You see them at the airport.

The United States economy is rotten at the core and has been stolen from the American people by the Wall Street Thieves that drove the Titanic into the iceberg in the first place!!

I have that image, but won't post it ;-)
are you morally above this image, or just jealous†
i am glad he posted it, speaks volumes.
No, I think the image is good art. But I think it might be offensive to some people. So if someone wants to see it, please follow the link. ;-)
cool hokusai flick:

offensive to some people. look at what is offensive. jeeze TV commercials, people walking around in general are offensive looking, with clothes on.
i figured that is what you would say.
she obviously isn't offended, she is showing pleasure, subtle pleasure.
I follow a self imposed rating guideline ;-)
this here depicts the essence of the dilemma. the shame of joy
and pleasure and beauty. the thing that makes you rich that
makes you poor and all that. art.

you see it is the illusion that makes the world go round. perspective
and the perspective of an imagined other to fill the other half of the
half full/empty cup. no place for straight and simple honest truth in
dual cognition. perhaps? reminds me of the duello. burr and hamilton?
interesting piece of history and fractal me thinks. ongoing....
"the Duel
The most succinct version of the story might go like this:
.
On the morning of July 11, 1804, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton were
rowed across the Hudson River in separate boats to a secluded spot near
Weehawken, New Jersey. There, in accord with the customs of the code
duello, they exchanged pistol shots at ten paces. Hamilton was struck on
the right side and died the following day. Though unhurt, Burr found that
his reputation suffered an equally fatal wound. In this, the most famous
duel in American history, both participants were casualties.
.
While all the information in this version of the story is accurate, its
admirable brevity creates some unfortunate historical casualties of its
own. " .....
from chapter one , "the founding brothers", joseph j. ellis.
anyway....
WB7 - with this post you have the recently released song from CAKE playing in mind.The following lyrics in particular :
==> Sick of You - CAKE (Official Video)Best wishes going forward ... MMC
Thanks, this is great! Even have horns in there ;-)
A few months ago I got the Verizon Droid - it does a lot of cool stuff but I found it getting a lot hotter than anything I was used to. I heard a radio interview with Devra Davies, she wrote a book about cell phone radiation/microwaves called Disconnect. The new phones could be much more dangerous than the old brick phones - you might know about some of the brain cancer stories from a number of heavy cell phone users, even Ted Kennedy. Anyway, the cell phone industry has used the play book from the tobacco companies - deny, dispute, discredit, destroy scientists careers, etc. The future could be bleak for many of the 50% plus tweens using 3G & 4G phones seveal hours per day. It is worth learning about this, for yourself, and especially if you have kids or grand kids.

I got my ham radio license before cell phones took off. One of the first things you learn is how UHF electromagnetic radiation (micro waves) can damage body organs. There were all kinds of warnings about how you should hold the radios away from your head.
Suddenly, for commercial reasons, these issues supposedly disappeared.
Yup...Don't hold the phone next to your head. Keep your calls short and use a fixed line for long calls.
the real question is would you interrupt a good quality spanking for a phone call?
apparently it happens, quelle dommage!

How long did you have to search to find that ;-)
actually it was a coinkidink.
Interesting example of collective irrationality. Whenever a technology becomes popular, it is overused and all nuance is lost.
Another satirical topic, williambanzai7: In light of the FBI terrorist entrapment scam, don't you think they should have self-service vending machines that record a video jihad testimonial, print out target maps, and dispense fake bombs, all for free? Such a vending machine does not provide encouragement and drive the unwitting to the target, but increased sensational headlines and FBI bonuses surely make up for the lack of legitimacy ;^) The blinking LEDs on the fake bomb could alert law enforcement to discover the person of concern.
I think I saw one of these in a rest room. ;-)
they are called blogs. the good thing is it gives the average
person a direct contact to the monitoring "authorities". an amplifier
if you will.
this is so fucking good i had an aneurysm / animuerysm.

LOL!
Well, the Gestapo is fixing to shit in our nest on cell phones,at least in vehicles.
Read an article yesterday, Congress has the automakers working on a way to make a cell phone unable to work in new vehicles.
I wonder when they will regulate how many times I can wipe my ass,and flush my toilets everyday.
Friggin Nazis.
No.
My Daughter and I were rear-ended by a lady on her cell phone.
We were at a stop light. We were the third car stopped at the stop light. Lady comes up behind me doing 30 mph with her eyes on cell phone - I saw it coming - she never looked up and slammed right into us.
Luckily no serious injuries beyond whiplash - but most of us apes need controls on our ape'ish stupidity and lusts.
Texting while driving is as bad as being drunk - and both kill innocent adults and children who don't have their heads in their asses or cell phones.
Rampant narcissism is what it boils down too.
Betty Paige had one fine body, damn.
I know I can't drive and conduct a telephone conversation...it is too distracting. I have this feeling that the brain processes a telephone call differently from a face to face conversation. For example, for me talking on a mobile seems to involve a different cognitive process than talking to someone you are walking with. Just me?
I think it has something to do with the brain trying to imply the missing visual realty (face expressions etc).
The distraction is ok while walking, but in a car it is dangerous.
Just be sure to wash before you use the phone ;-)
Saw a girl giving a lap dance the other day while texting over the guys shoulder. Classic.
Don't you hate it when that happens ;-)
I swear the guy wasn't me. Had it been me, she'd have done it right in my face.
Thanks billyban
I had already done that after the post.
Then I had to run uptown to buy a magnifying glass.
Damn etes are getting old!
The other alternative is to push the printer friendly button at the end of the post.
Bus Uncle rocks
Unless he is sitting in front of you ;-)
Just watching the news, and it appears that Charlie Manson had a cell phone in prison and was texting people........
I saw that. Not sure why the big fuss.
Guess they don't want Charlie texting his girls........or, manipulating the parol board off-line:) And.....give me a cell phone battery, some makeshift shrapnel and a heat source.......
I am happy to say that I do not own a cell phone. In fact, never have (although they have been forced on me in the past by various work entities).
holy shit! And I thought I was the only one. Well, WB7's stats show USA ownership only 0.87/person.... DAMN... I finally made it into the 2-percentile cohort of something. Yippee!
Congrats!
I am not ready to go that far yet. But I am on the basic program ;-)
I worked too many years shackled to either a beeper or a phone. Now, I figure if anyone needs to get hold of me (unlikely), then they will find a way.
