Apparently, the Callme Prism is a phone-number-displaying LCD intended for those times you're in your car, stuck in traffic or at a red light, and you see an attractive girl pull up beside you. The Callme makers seem to think girls are into complete strangers who run game on them by sticking a screen up against a window. And they think she would call your number and have sex with you in the backseat of your car at a highway truck stop or something? Yeah...OK. The device retails for around $26.

ridiculous. the numbers aren't illuminated, just backlit with crappy side light. And those numbers are what, 3/4" tall? Yeah good luck with that.
So how do you activate this thing? Or is it just flashing your number at everyone who drives by?
Should you get one for both sides of your car.
Can they make it any smaller. I think the girl I'm macking on should have to squint a little harder as she tries to write down my digits without having a major accident.
Wouldn't it be easier and much cheaper to just use paper and a Sharpie?
Gotta get my Spitzer on, beyotches.
Letters would be better: "Thanks for cutting me off back there. I'm following you home."
Around here the boy racer types have their numbers vinylcut and stuck on their cars instead.
Desperation....Ah, the smell of it....
Obviously the story author is one ugly dude. I have gotten asked for my number twice, and gotten girls numbers by asking several times. Some of which turns into good bedroom time, and others have been good friends since.
This would actually work for the cars in my neighborhood that doublepark during the street cleaning hours. Most people leave a note on the dashboard with their phone # in case the car blocked in needs to get out.
Don't suppose it has a mechanism that automatically flashes "911" if it gets flipped upside down...does it?
"STOP GAWKING AND CALL 911!!!"
In my bid to become less single, I contemplated setting up scrolling LED sign in my rear window which would scroll my A/S(Since I'm in NJ, I list my location by a bumper sticker which reads "Exit 98") and my website so ladies who found me only semi-repulsive could take a look. I didn't though. After saying that, I can honestly say THIS THING is more pathetic than me.
Almost every car in Korea has one of these. They're used so that someone can call you and tell you to move your car.
@faabshaam: No, it's supposed to say "If you can read this, please flip me over!"
They already have lcd panels specifically for cars which display preset messages and are able to be configured w/a keypad too.
Of course there's the blatantly ignorant way of going about it as some choose to do in my home country (Pakistan) with just a sweet message and a cell number posted on the back windshield for all to see...it cracks me up!
the only one for you my dear xxx-xxxx
lonely warrior, lonely lover etc
Don't know where they got the idea for this but these are all over Korea. They are not used here to get dates though. They display them through the wind shield on the dash. Why you ask? Because they are all horrible drivers/parkers and will stick their cars in anywhere they can (across drive ways, sidewalks, crosswalks).. including straight across the back of 4 parking spaces blocking in 4 cars. When someone needs to get out.. they instantly go to the wind shield where the number is displayed, call them and the person will come down to move their car. Happens all the time.
@Cliff_Dangers:
This is why Korean's are more practical than Americans. Salutations for making some use of the system other than picking up hoochies.
@Git Em SteveDave: As some one who lives around the same area, answer me this: Where are all the three diamond whores? I'm in Wall all the time and have yet to see a Spitzer quality 'ho.
I used one of these, and got me some awesome action in the back of my station wagon!
@thechansen: They're in Jackson. Little known fact, there was a dump in Jackson that used to take un-regulated waste to the point it caught fire by itself one day I think in the 70's/80's and they could not put it out. They finally brought in specialists who figured what witches brew they were dealing with, and they managed to extinguish it. Afterwards, they tested a bunch of the local wells, and lo-and-behold, they were tainted. So I think that's why they have the local concentration on hot Jersey Girls. Could also explain Bruce Springsteen. He is a Freehold boy.
@HyperDrunk: You mean the second-base-mobile?
*pulls up to stoplight*
"Hey, a hottie! Time to activate the stupid POS I've been saving for this moment!"
*Sticks stupid pos on window*

A:
"Huh, she's not looking at it. Wait, where's she going?"
*rammed by guy behind him, who is watching the stop light like a smart person should*
B:
"Hey, she's reading it! Wait, why is she rolling down her window?"
*rolls down window*
"I can't read that."
"Okay. My number's 555"
*They are both rammed by the people behind them at the stop light*
