You get a mobile telephone and all calls are free of charge. From anywhere, to anywhere
The CATCH:
All your calls are recorded and available on a website as mp3 files.
Sicko's can now choose from a wide variety of people to eavesdrop.
On the website you can have a personal spot where you
can introduce yourself, something about your background, a picture. ( you might lie and have fake calls to make it interesting for listeners)
All the pictures you take could also be on the website and the textmessages.
Those who are most popular could even make money in the process.
Money is generated, people have to pay to listen. Maybe some inventive advertising.
Would you mind if everybody could listen to your conversations? Would you want to listen to others? Let me rephrase that, do you think "other people" would like to listen? (not you ofcourse not you you're not a sicko now are you?)

Only if the identities of the callers were
undiscoverable. I'd like software to give
me a deep, resonant baritone voiceover. |

What makes you think your calls aren't *already* being listened to? |
|
| |
You can try to hide but if your mother calls you just gotta answer with your real name/personality. |
|
| |
Yes, [nuclear hobo] that's what inspired the idea, I thought well, why not get paid for it? |

//What makes you think your calls aren't
*already* being listened to?// An
unfortunate grasp of the mundanity of the
real world. It's a curse. |

For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self. |

/For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self./ |
|
| |
Is the answer "the whole world except for him"? |
|
| |
//Sicko's can now choose from a wide
variety of people to eavesdrop.//
Not such a wide variety. A rather highly
self-selected group, I should think. |

i think the only problem here isn't if *you* mind your conversations being eavesdropped on, but do the people you're talking to ? |
