I know people get attached to their phones by AndyA2006-11-19 12:55:59
  When you just have to reach out and touch someone by Miss L. Anyus 2006-09-07 09:28:21
Ignoring the fact that these four men were using their phones to continue their criminal activities, my anthropology prof told us a tale last night about how the rebellion got started in the dictatorial country she was doing her research in.

It was one of those countries (an archipelago off Sri Lanka, I think she said) where the penal system is really bad, and their dictator regularly 'disappeared' people.

Someone smuggled a cell phone into the prison, and when a seventeen-year-old boy was brutally 'disappeared' they phoned the boy's family.

That was how the riots started, both in the jail and in the streets (and my prof ended up with a completely different paper from what she had initially intended).
