Using a variety of sound manipulation wizardry, pre-
arranged
scripts, sound samples and actors this company would
call
your parent every week as you just for a chat. It would
then
email you a general run-down of the conversation.
May be more successful if your parent has a degenerative
brain disorder. May also be used to comfort Alzheimer's
patients and the naive with calls from beyond the grave.
May be used in conjunction with scams, or in the service
of
outright fraud of various kinds.
May be used as an instrument of psychological torture.

Hooking up the e-ouija board might be the tricky bit. |
|
| |
Have one that works underground? |
|
| |
Did you forget to call Mom ? |
|
| |
"An Australian aristocrat is someone who can trace their ancestry back to their father ..." |
|
| |
Maybe a viable business, with a tweak: |
|
| |
1) Have a menu/catalog of the most popular things that
Mom & Dad want to hear. |
|
| |
2) Have that menu voted up/down by the target audience
(Moms & Dads who subscribe). |
|
| |
3) Then, the Moms & Dads ask their children to come to the
site & the site records the audio of the children saying those
things. |
|
| |
4) For a small fee, Mom & Dad then get calls with a random
sample of those pre-recordings, at intervals they choose. |
|
| |
It's fake, yes, but it's authentic in that it is in fact their
children's voices. |
|
| |
Seriously, when my kids go off to college, I might want this. |
|
| |
It might be more believable if the kids recorded things they
actually call about and the calls came at odd hours.
e.g. Dad, you're not going to believe this, but...
.......really, just a loan. Promise to pay you back.
It wasn't my fault. The guy came out of nowhere...what was
I supposed to do?.......is pregnant...sorry, but we've been so
busy....yeah, I didn't know it was illegal......... |

But compensated with a [+] on another idea. |

Or, y'know, honor your parents. |
|
| |
More important that others honour your patents ... |

A reverse charge, ghostly pep talk would also be possible. |
