Should have planned ahead. via ENGLISHCLASS
Kids these days, always getting arrested and tweeting about it to their friends. But thanks to even newer technology, tweeting your legal troubles is hereby antiquated. Now there's an app for that.
It's pretty simple, really: You compose a text message in advance and pre-select your recipient list. Mom, Dad, best friend Larry, and your hair stylist, let's say. Then you head down to the local Occupy Wall Street protest -- there's one in almost every major city -- and participate in your favorite drum circle. As the police stuff you into the back of the squad car, you whip out your Android (the iPhone edition is being developed) and hit a button that sends your triumphant message of arrest to Mom, Dad, Larry, and the hair stylist. If the hair stylist is any good, she's reschedule tomorrow's appointment. If your parents are any good, they'll show up with bail.
What's next? Some other occasions ripe for a pre-loaded message at the click of a button:
- The stock market crashes. Recipient list: stock broker, mortgage broker, CC travel agent and Swiss banker.
- The birth of a child. Recipient list: family, friends, CC Santa and the College Board.
- Divorce. Recipient list: selections from your little black book.
- Stranded in Europe and need cash wired immediately. Recipient list: the entire address book.
I see brand development possibilities galore.
