You know how everyone’s telling teenage girls to stay away from drugs, sex, and bitchy behavior?

Well, someone wants to put a stop to all the preaching.

Coolest Girl in School, a “mobile phone based game” (a term which makes me feel old, since I have no idea what it is) is about to debut in Australia, and parents are pissed.

“Game developer and producer” Holly Owen, the (no) brains behind this new game, says that the point behind Coolest Girl is to “”lie, bitch and flirt your way to the top of the high school ladder“, a description that makes me think Owen has “cool” confused with “total asshole”.

“It’s not about glorifying bad things, it’s about giving young girls the opportunity to play around with high school.” Owen says about her horrible idea, going on to muse “It’s a pretty ironic game because things that might seem obviously cool like taking drugs and smoking might work against you because you have to go to rehab or have stinky breath when the captain of the football team comes to speak to you.” Read More »

Lots of people are going out and buying the new iPhone, or the “Revolutionary Phone.”

I, on the other hand, don’t even know what the hell an iPhone is and still use my dinky little Sprint cell phone from college - it doesn’t even take video images! If it was still out there, I’d be still be using the “Zack Morris“.

These “iPhone Worshippers” were waiting in line for ridiculous amounts of time last week, just to be the first ones to snag the hot new gadget. They were sitting outside Apple stores for days, braved 90 degree heat, huddled in the rain, slept on pavement, enduring mass amounts of boredom, starvation, discomfort…damn. Do these people work/go to school/have anything, like, important going on? Apparently, not.

PCWorld.com reports the craziness that was the New York City line that formed outside of the Apple Store on Fifth Ave, as New Yorkers began camping out waaaaaay, way in advance.

But none were so determined as Greg Packer, a 43-year-old wacko who made himself comfortable in a lawn chair out front of the NY location on MONDAY AT 5 A.M. Yea, you know what time the iPhone officially goes on sale? FRIDAY AT 6 P.M. Holy hell. Read More »

Preparing for a first date is a stressful time. During the primping and pre-pimping process, the last thing we need before going on a hot date is trouble with our technological gadgets.

The toilet bowl is #1 killer of cell phones today, and being that before a date, we spend a lot of time in the bathroom, it doesn’t make for a good combination. I know so many people who have lost their phones due to unwanted trips down the ceramic place-in-the-sky. Haven’t we learned our lesson yet? DO NOT GO NEAR A TOILET WITH A CELL PHONE ON OR NEAR YOUR PERSON. It never ends well.

Well….that is until I found out about this little helpful tip.

The Washington Post reports the story of one guy who, after dropping his Blackberry down the toilet, saved it by sticking it in a bowl of rice.

Strange, but kinda cool, huh? Read More »

Did you know that millions of people have been using their cell phones as a dating service? Um yeah, well I just heard about it too. Absolutely proposterous, right?!

With the rise in popularity of online dating now at an all-time high, it’s not news to anyone that we have access to just about anything, literally right at our fingertips. From finding directions, to ordering take-out, to searching for a job, to making celebrities out of nobodies, the internet does everything for us, including helping us hook up.

And as the good old web has joined forces with Blackberrys and Palm Pilots and all the other freaks of technology that seem to do everything in the name of communication, cell phones can now be used to access dating services from anywhere at anytime - making the booty call or booty graze that much more convenient for everyone! Yes, hard to believe, but it is now even easier to have casual, spur-of-the-moment sex. Read More »
