94% Prefer mobiles to Sex
A survey has found that a worrying 94 per cent of young UK adults would give up sex for a week, before being separated from their mobile phone.
The poll questioned 2,571 UK adults aged between 18 and 30; all the participants were mobile phone owners and in a relationship.
It was conducted on behalf of mobileinsurance.co.uk.
When asked to describe how they value their phones compared to other parts of daily life, 65 per cent said that they “couldn’t live without it.” Another 22 per cent said they were “very dependent” on their smartphone.
That still pales in comparison to the fact that just over one in 20 people questioned would rather give up their mobile for a week than give up sex.
A further ten per cent claimed that they could “take or leave” their mobile.
Only one per cent said that the could live without it.
Tech Company Job Requires Nudity
Imagine waking up in the morning, going to work–and undressing. No, you’re not a stripper, but rather…a web coder? The Sydney Morning Herald explains the job would pay about $38,000 a year.
“The ad has been placed on craigslist, a classifieds website. Headed ‘Nude Web Coders Wanted’, it offers part-time or full-time positions and customers ‘who never meet you and will not know you are nude’.”
Of course there have been a few ‘cheeky’ responses. Animated news-makers for Taiwanese-run NMA TV certainly went all the way with this video:
ANCHOR READ OVER: “Boss Chris Taylor said Nude House is hoping to attract more females to ‘balance the numbers’. With seven applicants so far, Taylor said they are working hard to weed out the undesirables.”
Nude House founder Chris Taylor says his company is the only one in the world, as far he knows, to offer naturists proper work. But at least one writer in the blogosphere just doesn’t get it.
“I totally don’t understand the purpose of this, what does having clothes got to do with Coding?”
But Taylor insists he is just trying to provide a comfortable work environment for those looking to free themselves from the confines of clothes. All Headline News quotes the Nude House boss.
“‘Sex does not play a part in naturism – yes one is aware of differences in sex and size and shape and age of everyone, but the concern is on sales and technical ability, not availability.”
Taylor is looking to hire 16-17 workers–and interviews will be held in the nude as well.
