One for my Peeps... is that right? Peeps is it now?

I was sitting here today surfing on the idea of Drunk-Dialing and found quite a few cool little articles... one girl was quoted as saying she never drunk-dialed anyone who hasn't seen her nude. Another told of a system in Australia where you dial 333 then the number of the person whom you don't wish to accidental dial that evening and you can't connect to them till 6am the next day. A last article extolled the benefits of the new Verizon plan of blocking outgoing numbers on your phone. All of these seem to be kinda interesting in their own ways, but I really waiting for some of these type of solutions to be put into place for other "medium".

First, I'd like to discuss a "chocolate-watching" code or lock for you home entertainment system. You know, when your wife/girlfriend/friend with benefits decides it's been a horrible week, and only wants to sit down with a gallon of rocky-road and some Julia Roberts Movies. I would think an emotional restrictor plate on the DVD player or TV could solve this. How many guys have come home to find their mate curled up on the couch with a tub of ice-cream and tears streaming down their face to wonder what they have done? Well, this could help those poor schmuck. Maybe encourage the stricken love to "read a good non-romance involved novel" or "extend extra shoe shopping credit" to the stricken one.

How about a "breakup-lock" for your email? I know you can already block emails from anyone you like, but I think a system where people are unable to SEND email to their former significant others once they enter a new relationship. For those of us who have thought they were just "sending mail to the wind" perhaps, so you never get caught when your new girlfriend or lover decides to get into your outlook to check the date and send you a covert "love letter" from yourself (which I think is kinda creepy in the first place). Instead, your mail goes to a central processing server that redelivers it with some low-grade internet porn to effectively change the subject.

Lastly, perhaps a "drive-by" control box for your car. To prevent that ever depressing event of taking a quick pass by the house of someone who's dumped / smitten / angered you. If you decide it's a good idea to give his or her home a pass by, the car instead goes straight to the local liquor store and orders two bottles of tequila before you arrive. This way, you go home and wallow or rant instead of embarrass yourself behind the wheel of your car. Or, if your of the truly stupid bent, get back in the car and go anyway, ending up with your car parked through the doors of the local Quickie-Mart and your dumb, depressed ass locked soundly in jail for 1 part stupidity, 15 parts alcohol. (I.E. Drinking then Driving is STUPID and ILLEGAL, QUIT IT PEOPLE!)

Hey folks, these are just thoughts...
