Really great article by Paul Boutin over at Slate about how the perils of drunk dialing are compounded when there’s a cameraphone involved:
Cell-phone owners prone to what’s known as the drunk dial now have a whole new way to embarrass themselves: Phone-makers are packing their latest models with tiny video cameras and big color screens (instead of something useful, like a Breathalyzer). For besotted late-night callers still learning to handle unlimited minutes responsibly, this is enabling technology. Not only will the rest of us have to listen to your rambling five-minute voice mails, now we’ll have to look at you, too.
Paul says nothing, sadly, about how much more enticing the cameraphone will make the booty call.
