Agreed! It's already changing the way we think of interpersonal
relationships.

Actual, honest-to-god telephone conversation from last night: X is an
old friend, S is my girlfriend:

X: Is S there? I wanted to see if she wanted to go see a movie.
ME: Which movie?
X: 'Signs'
ME: 'Signs'?!? Don't you know 'Signs' is a Disney film?!? [rant about
how Disney will end up destroying the earth and killing all humanity to
save its precious Mickey Mouse copyright elided]
X: That's why I was gonna ask S.

Bada boom,
