Your Sex Is Being Twittered…And Scored
This sets off all my “is probably an internet hoax” filters. But it’s funny even if it’s not true:
When a man in the UK was asked to be the best man at his friend’s wedding, he was touched. So touched, that he promised not to pull any pranks before or during the wedding. After the wedding though, that’s another story.
This man, who is choosing to stay anonymous, has set up this Twitter account for the sole purpose of automatically tweeting when the newlyweds are having sex. I’m not kidding. Read the entire tweet stream from the bottom up if you want the full story. But basically, this guy was watching his friend’s house while they went on their honeymoon and he placed a device under their mattress. This device…is a pressure-sensitive pad that tweets out when sexual activity starts, when it ends, the force of the “action,” and a “frenzy” rating.
High tech voyeurism! And not the last such device we’ll be hearing about, I’m sure…

Reminds me of the Galloping Gourmet, who claimed that on his wedding night his “friends” ran a wire from his bed springs through a hole in the floor to the bar below, where they attached a small bell. The technology may change, but the basic idea seems to be eternal. Wonder how Neanderthal Man carried this out.
Even if it’s a hoax now I’m sure it soon won’t be.
