this can't go on.

On a recent visit down Henry Street in Dublin city center, i happened upon a mobile phone add in a shop of same. So what i hear you cry! Well to my shock i saw a little babe boy (NOT MORE THAN 1 YEAR OLD) Holding two mobil phones. Can you belive it? And get this, when i asked the manager about this she seamed shocked that i had a probkem with this. Was i right to be shocked? Am i the only one who has a problem with this?

it's ok, in our studies not sponsored by telecomm multinationals, radiation levels emitted by mobile phones did not exceed the regulated baby-to-brain-tissue ratio of 75kg/m2.

But don't you love the smell

Since I was a baby I've always loved the smell of radiated baby brain tissue - is it just me?

What if?

If the same people who owned that mobile phone shop also owned a pub, would it be acceptable for them to advertise with that child holding two bottles of bear in his hands?

Whatever...
