The Campaign For The Reading Out Loud Of Text Messages Recieved In A Public Place
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
We have all been there, on the bus, in the cinema, on the train or in any public place, when suddenly...
BEEP BEEP
Somebody gets a text message on their phone. They get their phone out, press some buttons, make some beeping noises and read their message. They then smile, laugh, groan or make some other form of recognition. But what was in the message?
This is where 'The campaign for the reading out loud of text messages recieved in a public place' (TCFTROLOTMRIAPP) comes in. The plan is to get a law passed that all text messages recieved in public, no matter how personal or embarrasing, should be read out lound to the bus, train or cinema. The group of complete strangers in the room should then be asked to help formulate a suitable reply to the message.
An example. When on a bus journey a man recieves a text message, everybody turns expectatly and the reciever reads 'What film should we go and see? I quite fancy seeing bridget jones.'
The reciever can then explain who the message is from, eg their girlfriend, and that they have no desire to see bridget jones' diary.
If the bus is a compassionate lot they will make the desicion they are to see Captain Corelli and he can blame the choice on the bus. If they are a evil bunch they can agree with his girlfriend and force him to go and watch it.
This campaign will lead to many interesting moments, alieviate the bordom of long bus journeys and put an end to the stress and jealousy caused because other people have friends who want to talk to them and you don't.
So sign yourself up in support of the campaign, or even against it by writing a comment on this artical. Tell your friends to read their messages out loud! Viva TCFTROLOTMRIAPP
