It is amazing that people with such primitive beliefs would be using such a high-tech gadget as a celery phone.
josh randall @ Jul 18th 2007 2:25PM
These people are not at all as primitive as WE think. How many people in this country believe in the Devil, possession, talking to dead loved ones? And there IS a virus in your cellphone, it's called GPS and follows you everywhere!
Mouse @ Jul 18th 2007 5:27PM
sounds like something out of a Stephen King novel! Oh yeah it was THE CELL
supersizelil836 @ Jul 23rd 2007 5:33PM
i thought i had heard it all but the deadly cell phone......that's it i am digging a hole and getting in it.

I GUESS THIS DEMONSTRATES HOW MANY IDIOTS THERE REALLY ARE IN THIS WORLD. REMEMBER HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LINED UP TO SEE A POTATO CHIP SHAPED LIKE THE VIRGIN MARY OR JESUS OR SOME OTHER NONSENSE LIKE THAT ???
REMEMBER THE JIM JONES MASSACRE IN GUAYANA ?? THOSE FOLLOWERS WERE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH TO BRAINWASH SO MANY PEOPLE.
sherry @ Aug 9th 2007 12:28PM
Josh Randall you are so right. At least in cars one has the option of not having GPS unlike the cell which I believe is completely unfair.
Mark @ Oct 7th 2007 11:50PM
That's not the scariest part. Pakistan ALSO has nuclear weapons and probably Osama Bin Laden, as well as people who believe in a cell phone curse! Lol, I can't say America is any better though.
