Oh great. Talking while driving, while you're having a dinner date, while you're out having fun...how prescient. They forgot talking in the movie theater.

@GoodJobGuy

when I have a cell phone that weighs 6 oz, I have no idea if its heavy or light. Use metrics damnit! You are in the 21st century, not in the 80s!
