There is now a site where Swedish children can input their addresses and then be sent texts to tell them when the ice cream van is due. (via)
All that is missing is another site where older readers can arranged to be picked up in their homes for euthanasia after visiting the first one.
I’m sure I remember a cinema or TV advert from Nokia along those lines – that children in Finland were using their mobile phones for ice cream van alerts. There was an explanation as well – it’s too cold, a lot of the time, to hang around outside, and the distances between stops are such that you won’t hear the chimes. So what’s a kid to do?
No mention of euthanasia 2.0, but it’s bound to happen.
