Bajaur cell-phone shop owners ban rÃngtønes, announce Rs 10,000 fine | |
2007-10-31 | |
Cellülar phone shop owners in Bajaur took this decision at a meeting held in Khar, the agency headquarters. This follows in the wake of militants bombing a cellülar phone market a few days ago in Inayat Kalay, around seven kilometres from Khar. The market housed 30 shops dealing in cellülar phones. Two months ago, unknown militants issued threatening letters to shop owners in the market in Inayat Kalay, warning them to shut down their “un-Islamic businesses” or face bomb atttacks. | |

#5 I think I'd be tempted to pack a few "extra features" into the phones these jerks buy for their own use... |

#4 Brer Rabbit. It could be pushed out from the central office so you would only need to hack them. |

#3 Wouldnt it be funny if someone hacked their phones and had all the ring tones changed to songs from Fiddler on the Roof? |

#2 I guess this is what happens when a stone age culture is given cell phones. Perhaps the ring tones sounded a bit too much like music? Perhaps they might be construed as fun? Perhaps the cell phones with a different ring tone couldn't set off a bomb properly? Maybe the terrorists couldn't figure out how to do it themselves no matter how hard they pounded their own phone with a rock so they won't let anyone else do it either? Of course, it's the usual "one-size-fits-all" punishment if the perverts don't step into line. |

#1 I don't know... I think naming yourself after your prophet would be a crime against the prophet and Allen so ... following this logic ... shouldn't they kill anybody named Mohammad or a variant thereof? |
