Whoa, God Turned Off My Cell Phone!

Ironic that I found this story after Lawren's story on bad cell phone etiquette.

Some Mexican churches are using state-of-the-art technology developed by Israeli
electronic warfare experts to silence cell phones that ring during mass.

What's the lesson of this story? If the priest says to listen to his sermon he means it!

"Before we had the system, it was very uncomfortable hearing calls coming in
during the celebration of mass. But now it's 95 percent quiet," said Bulmaro
Carranza, a caretaker at the city's Baroque-style Sacred Heart church.

Isn't it a shame we have to come up with crafty tech to go around people's inability to perform common courtesy? Maybe it is God's way of saying "...and I shall strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger upon those who play Nelly during my lessons!"
