Thai monk develops morality ringtones for sinners
With all the Bluejacking,
happy slapping,
Bluesnarfing, and
Toothing we hear about these days, it's refreshing to see cellphones used in a more spiritual manner. After Thai monk Phra Phayom Kalayano of the Glass Garden Temple heard some
sexually explicit sounds coming from teenagers' phones,
he decided to develop a set of more wholesome ringtones. These "dhamma doctrine" tones, as they are known, consist of several pithy sayings designed to set listeners back on the righteous path. Pick of the litter? "Don't let mobile phone conversations lead to premature sex and pregnancy." Now if this had only been available when P. Hilton's phone rang that one fateful night.
