This alone makes the rant worth while.
No! Underage prostitutes aren’t happy unless you hold the phone up to your face. Like VCO3 would, if anyone ever called him.
Would you excuse my wearing headset if I pointed out that the servers in question are used to support work that, G-d willing, will help ensure that phrases like “HIV+ child prostitute in the favelas of Rio de Janero” are nothing more than figures of speech such as I’d expect to hear spouted by the kind of twit who gets his shorts in a knot becaue some poor slob spent some money on a cool gadget?
If I ran over an AIDS infected goldfish because I was trying to talk on the phone and shift at the same time, would I then be permitted leave to use a headset?
I was in the bathroom at a bar last week, when the guy next to me taking a wizz started yakking. At first I thought he was overly friendly, then crazy, but then he turned around and had one of those things on.
(Still think he was crazy, really).
I have no problem with however you use your phone and/or pricey gadgets.
I’m just trying to figure out where the underage prostitutes came from.
Brazil, I think.
No. You should instead use this opportunity to help save an underage Brazilian sex worker by hiring him/her to hold your cell phone up to your ear while you call the appropriate agencies to help resuscitate the injured goldfish.
Brazil , Duh.
I hate cell phones and the cell phone culture, but I think these are kind of cool-looking, actually. Of course in class is a no-no - what are you paying your money for?? 
I don’t like cell phones to the extent that I purposefully do not have one. But I’m considering getting one of the cyborg units mentioned by the OP simply on the off-chance that I’ll cross paths with him and cause him to feel annoyed.
Years and years ago, I saw an exhibit at the Science Museum about how one day we’ll all have little piezo-electric transducers implanted in our jawbones which will resonate our skulls and that’s how we’ll all talk on the phone. I can’t tell you how disappointed I am that I still can’t get voices in my head. More voices, that is.
How about you mind your own fucking business, and I’ll talk on the phone however I damn well please.
I wonder how the OP would feel about one of these
By the way, I noticed that a number of taxi drivers, here, are using these earpieces, since it allows them to chat (all the ones I saw using it were chatting with some friend or relative) while driving. Actually, it’s on the head of a taxi driver that I saw this for the first time.
WE ARE BORG
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
THE BOURGEOISIE CAPATALISTS DEMAND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY TO SUBJUGATE THE PROLETARIAT MASSES
VC03 IS IRRELEVANT
WE ARE VERY CONFUSED AS TO HOW BRAZILLIAN CHILD PROSTITUTES RELATE TO THIS VENTURE
MAYBE WE’LL HAVE A NICE CUP OF REALLY HOT TEA…

Sorry, all the mass satanic rituals are booked up for the foreseeable future in the worldwide effort to purge all cellphone walkie-talkie functions. You’ll have to wait your turn.
I liked the rant. Mainly because of the DOUCHEBAG ROBOT EAR thing. We have a sales rep who always wears one of those things, and he is indeed a douchebag. I’m now always going to think of him as a sad sufferer of the malady known as DOUCHEBAG ROBOT EAR.
Of course, he’s not as bad off as he would be if he were a syphilitic Brazilian goldfish suffering from DOUCHEBAG ROBOT EAR. Maybe I should tell him to count his blessings.
I will kiss, on the mouth, the first person I see using one of those.
I must say, the OP has taken this topic to a whole new level of absurdity, exceeded only (perhaps) by debates over the [thread=296091]relative merits of circumcision[/thread].
Meanwhile, in sports, The Starving Cancerous NASA Goldfish triumphed over the Brazilian Child Prostitutes in an astonishing upset which experts attibute to their adoption of Bluetooth cellular headset technology. Douchbags everywhere are celebrating but officials are reviewing the legality of the play. More news at eleven.
