My question is this: What the fuck does a 10 year old need a cell phone for anyway?

Don't ask me, Gunny. My son is nine and I'll be damned if he's getting a cell phone any time soon.

Yeah, my little cousin wants a cellphone and he's 10. Who's he gonna call, his parents? lol.

by the way, I had a VERY serious talk with my 10 y/o stepsister the other day about her excessive use of smilies and her sometimes using Caps on every other letter in a word (a seriously disturbing trend in European youths in the last couple if years) in her IMs and she knows better now. and yes, she has a cell, pretty much every kid in her class has one and we're one of the new EU countries (meaning not as developed as Denmark or the UK) AND she lives in a small town _AND_ one of her 10 yo mates actually has an N95 which is similar to a Blueberry (costs ~800$ here). talk about wtf and dumb parenting.

but about the slang - in my opinion the random verbal OMG or LOL is totally acceptable whenever anything appropriate happens, but if, say, my wife started talking like the little bitch in this ad... I'd lose my mind in a couple of days. drives me nuts. do a lot of teenagers talk like this in the US?
