More People Turn Off Cell Phones At Movies Than During Sex
from the that-makes-sense dept
A German study has found that more people turn off their cell phone during movies than while having sex. If you think about it, this actually makes sense. I'd bet there would be similar results if you took the poll elsewhere as well. My question, however, is what percentage of the people polled answered their cell phone while having sex? Actually, on second thought, I don't think I want to know that.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

However, I must admit I'm quite surprised that no one has yet made the (yes, incredibly bad) joke about just leaving the phone on "vibrate" mode...

Okay... So, um, if you're family oriented (or *my* family), stop reading now.
Having said that, a couple of quick thoughts: one, "doin the dirty" as you say doesn't always need to involve removal of all clothing. Second, (and I can't believe you people actually made me think about this stuff), I can actually see other (not particularly good) ways to still involve the cell phone. Apparently "unknown, sort of" isn't familiar with some fairly popular sex devices out there...
Anyone else suddenly disgusted by the site of their own cell phone... Well, at least I know no one is going to ask me if they can borrow my cell phone for a while. And... I may never borrow anyone else's ever again.
Okay. I think this thread needs to die right about now.

Take that call!
Or, her husband!
Think of the 1-900 advise line you could open up....add mobile video phones, and you can then have a 1-900 coaching line.
No, no, she needs to be a 35 degree angle, you have her at a 25...its no wonder its not working....
(Now, how can I work the word Hitler into this thread so it can die...Oh, just did.)
NOW the thread can die
