Camera Cell Phones & 'Happy Slapping'

Ah, technology. We invent cell phones, so we can talk loudly whilst driving badly. Not content with that, we invent digital cameras built into the cell phones, for no legitimate purpose that we can discover. Apparently, nobody else can, either.

But we're a creative lot. If we can't figure out what the camera built into the cell phone is for initially, we'll eventually suss it out.

Schools Ban Camera Phones Amid 'Happy Slapping' Craze

By Tim Ross, PA Education Correspondent

Head teachers have banned children from using video phones to stop them slapping other pupils in the face and recording the attacks on their mobiles.

The violent new craze among teenagers – dubbed “happy slapping” – has been plaguing commuters on trains and buses in London.

So this is what cell phone cameras are for! You approach a stranger on a train, slap the shit out of them, and record the slap and their reaction with your cell phone camera. And you share it with your friends, and we all get a great yuck out of it.

I wonder what happens when they slap an armed psycho who then proceeds to put a large calibre bullet through young Ploppy's forehead as the camera records it?

Well, we'll find a way to blame society.

I have nothing more to say about that.

Best,
