Okay now this is ridiculous, iPhone has a “purity ring” application. Yes, someone out there thinks that signing up for an app will help them stay chaste.
The Guardian reports creator, Island Wall Entertainment, claims the product will “appeal to the younger generation and those people who have not already committed themselves to a life of abstinence and chastity.”
So how does one stay a virgin in the age of technology? Just download the application and listen to the pre-recorded pledge for both genders, accept the pledge, then a silver ring will display on your phone to show your vow to abstinence. And boom! You absolutely will not have sex till marriage.
But what if you lose your phone? Do you lose your virginity too?
