Title: Cell phone blocker - yay or nay?

Seem like a good concept or no? (http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4355~r.96035782) I'd be tempted to buy one and take it to the movie theater.

I think it would be cheaper and more effective to just find the person with the cellphone that's bothering you and jam it into one of their orifices.

Subterfuge is always funnier than blunt force, Corny.

2-40 feet?  WTH does that mean?  That's like a range of utter crap to mildly useful - and I do mean mildly.

You couldn't even trust that thing to knock out reception in someone's entire house.  For $60 I want a guaranteed no-call zone for my home invasions and rapes.

I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again: you can't rape the willing, Cyanista! :wag

Movie theaters should just install it in each individual theater (judging from the signal distance, they would need multiple per theater).

Though, do we really need another device that probably causes HORRIBLE CANCER!

It's illegal in the US and that particular device seems to have an actual range of about twenty feet, from what i've read.
