For $5 a Month, You Better Have Alot of Crappy Dates to Escape From

Cingular Wireless Can Now Help You 'Escape-A-Date' by not only calling you at your specified time but giving you a script to repeat to get away from Mr. Way Too Much Cologne Wearer or Mr. Has To Touch You When He Talks or Mr. Let's Get Drunk and Screw On Our First Date.

Its a clever idea but come on, most people have a friend they can text for an escape call if that's what they need.

Oh boy, and you can get a Joke of the Day call too! Whooot!

Here's a better idea, need info? Call 1 800 555-TELL and you get a sweet voice activated internet. Get sports scores, stock quotes, movie reviews and more and there's no charge (though you can't call from a payphone). And I always feel marginally cooler when I talk on my cell phone and order up sports scores or stock quotes.
