Cell Your Soul

Robert Lanham, perhaps best known for his Hipster Handbook, has a new book coming out in September called The Sinner’s Guide to the Evangelical Right. In connection with that, he’s started a Web site, which includes a blog (and an amusing quiz, among other things). Checking this out today, I was interested in an item about Catholic Mobile, which “provides families and individuals with inspiring Catholic content in English and Spanish that will enrich their daily wireless experiences.”

This translates into things like Catherine of Siena phone wallpaper (pictured) and “Ave Maria” ringtones, prayers and Catholic news delivered to your phone, and even a “Saint of the Day” service. “Make your phone 100% Catholic, too,” the site says.

Evanglical Right.com asks: “Is your phone a secular humanist, a Jew, or a Muslim? Do you know where your phone will spend eternity? Has your phone ever taken communion or confessed its sins to a priest?”

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.

And someone should tell the Hipster dude that Teen Wolf 2 = Jason Bateman, not Justin (since his website doesn’t seem to allow for contacting him, at least not in an easy to find way)

Thanks for the catch. I changed it to Jason.
