Political Cell Phone Spam
Good heavens, can you imagine getting political spam on your cell phone from President Bush? Something like that is already going on in India, reports the Voice of America. (Link via SmartMobs.)
Across India, tens of thousands of people have recently answered their cellphones and heard a surprising voice. It is Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, wishing them well and discussing the achievements he has made during the past 5 years in office.
They're also using text messages and pop-up ads on Web sites. I know, you'd think it would automatically make you want to vote for the opposition, but the other side is planning on doing it too, but in a "less invasive" way.
