On loose cannons

Play this simple game.

What you'll need:

- a voice recorder (blackberry, obviously)
- a group of friends (if they're gossiping friends, all the better for the purposes of the game)
- a moral sense of right and wrong (so no psychopaths..or if you want to catch psychopaths then play this game)

The rules are: there are no rules. Just switch the voice recorder on, and put it in the middle of a conversation where everyone can see.

Then talk.

I played something to this effect and the responses were very..intriguing.

"Sshhh, don't say that, we're recorded"

"*not saying anything but looking at the other person with a we're-being-recorded-silly look*"

I wonder how politicians feel. They say silly things on recordings all the time.

"With my kasyaf, I saw the hand of the devil when he wanted to shake hands with me"- member of a political party

"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test." - bush

"I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." —Barack Obama (duh)

"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office." —President George W. Bush

Or maybe they're psychopaths. Which explains a lot of things.

Anyways, try it out with a group of friends..you'll be surprised at what people aren't willing to say on film..and while we were doing this, somebody pointed out

"Aren't we recorded all the time?"

And our recordings, good or otherwise, will be shown on The Day.

Perghhh.koyak.
