Speaker 1: You're listening to comedy Central. Cape May, New Jersey, a
Speaker 1: charming little beach town that set the standard for taste
Speaker 1: and sophistication. We've come to associate with the Jersey Shore,
Speaker 1: but in recent years tourists have taken their fanny packs elsewhere.
Speaker 1: To bring visitors back, town leaders developed the Cool Cape
Speaker 1: May campaign.
Speaker 2: Cool Cape May was an expression was actually used back
Speaker 2: in eighteen ninety six. It's cooler down here, that's in
Speaker 2: the city, so that's where it came from. We were
Speaker 2: cool back then, we're cool today. Kind of a double
Speaker 2: entronde if.
Speaker 1: You will forgive me, but I believe the proper pronunciation
Speaker 1: is oh dong.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I took two years of Spanish okay.
Speaker 1: To attract tourists. The town has relaxed some of its
Speaker 1: more excessive rules. Among the changes, opening more beaches for kayaking,
Speaker 1: adding a five minute grace period at parking meters, and
Speaker 1: then there's this.
Speaker 2: Come to Kate May be cool play and feel free
Speaker 2: to wor speel.
Speaker 1: Kate May has lifted it's thirty year ban on men
Speaker 1: in skin tight bathing suits commonly referred to as speedos.
Speaker 1: Atlantic City has gambling. Wildwood has broken bottle fights.
Speaker 3: Kate May has spiedos right.
Speaker 2: The lessening of the regulations. It's all a big package.
Speaker 1: A package, Yep, it's a big package.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's going to be a big package.
Speaker 3: Might it be a huge package.
Speaker 1: Despite the obvious appeal to tourists, some local merchants think that
Speaker 1: speedos have no place in Cape May. I don't like
Speaker 1: going to the beach and having my children and seeing
Speaker 1: these men walking around in little speedos.
Speaker 2: Well, who died in me?
Speaker 3: Do you the nut police?
Speaker 4: No one did.
Speaker 5: I just don't think they look attractive unattractive?
Speaker 3: Are we talking about the same thing, because I'm talking
Speaker 3: about the little I'm having trouble picturing a speedo that
Speaker 3: is not attractive.
Speaker 4: I don't personally like to see men in Who.
Speaker 3: Are you trying to attracticate me?
Speaker 2: I think international crowd attraction would be very nice.
Speaker 6: Thing, mister Steenrod, tell me, Bob, Bob, have you ever
Speaker 6: had a problem with someone, for lack of a better term,
Speaker 6: popping a steam rod in one of these things?
Speaker 7: Wow? I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1: Even those who oppose throngs of thong wearing Europeans on
Speaker 1: their beaches seem more than willing to cash in.
Speaker 3: Does your store sell speedos?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Look what I found.
Speaker 4: They're pities.
Speaker 3: If by panty you mean speedo, then yes, I agree
Speaker 3: with you.
Speaker 1: Lily was clearly in denial. Speedos are everywhere, sometimes where
Speaker 1: you least expect them.
Speaker 3: What if I told you that I'm wearing a speedo
Speaker 3: right now, Let's see, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want my children to say a man in
Speaker 1: that type of babyshit. That kind of attitude is a
Speaker 1: startling reminder of yesteryear when Cape May's beaches were segregated.
Speaker 1: Since then, Cape May has come a long way, But
Speaker 1: has it come far enough to find out if attitudes
Speaker 1: around Cape May have really changed? I equipped myself with
Speaker 1: a hidden camera underneath my ball sat Let's put it
Speaker 1: to the test, shall we. While the locals appeared to
Speaker 1: be friendly, nutcam told a different story. But after a
Speaker 1: little while, people seemed to open up to me. I
Speaker 1: even caught up on some of my favorite periodicals at
Speaker 1: the local library. Although my fellow sunbathers oddly chose not
Speaker 1: to wear speedos, they supported me and my choice. The
Speaker 1: sensation was liberating, so much so that my enthusiasm for
Speaker 1: speedos overwhelmed me. Overall, it seemed Cape May was embracing
Speaker 1: speed outs, perhaps some members of the community a little
Speaker 1: too much of George Andrews, a student at the University
Speaker 1: of California Davis, had a secret, something known only to
Speaker 1: a few special friends who shared his orientation. I am
Speaker 1: a conservative, a conservative who was tired of hiding.
Speaker 8: People are afraid to come out and say that they're
Speaker 8: conservative on this campus because it's easy to beat up
Speaker 8: on people like that are rich and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So what'd you do about it?
Speaker 8: So we decided to do a conservative coming out day
Speaker 8: so that we can be bold.
Speaker 7: You go girl.
Speaker 1: In a classy display of solidarity and mutual understanding, George
Speaker 1: and his friends scheduled Conservative coming Out Day during UC
Speaker 1: Davis Gay Pride Week. But that didn't spare conservatives the
Speaker 1: wrath of campus bullies, bullies like Aldrich Dan.
Speaker 7: They're trying to make light of what Pride Week is
Speaker 7: and what Pride Week stands for.
Speaker 1: But George says he's got nothing but the utmost respect
Speaker 1: for homosexuals.
Speaker 8: I don't accept like homosexual behavior, but then they are
Speaker 8: a part of the community. You can't kick him out.
Speaker 3: Why can't you be more tolerant of people who don't
Speaker 3: tolerate you. I do not have hatred towards Are you
Speaker 3: trying to tell me that you don't hate Republicans.
Speaker 7: Well, there are different kinds of Republicans.
Speaker 1: Just say that you hate Republicans.
Speaker 7: Why should I say that I hate Republicans? That's just
Speaker 7: really not right. Just say it. Fine, I'll say it.
Speaker 7: I hate the Davis College Republicans.
Speaker 1: Out it's venom like that George has to deal with
Speaker 1: every day.
Speaker 8: Let's do a role play, sure thing.
Speaker 1: I'm just your average UC Davis student and I come
Speaker 1: up to you in the lunch room and I'm like.
Speaker 5: Hey, George, you sing told what's with the fucking attitude
Speaker 5: that you're spreading all over this campus?
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, Like what would that be? Well, like,
Speaker 8: first of all, like that person needs love?
Speaker 2: Uh mine, we're role playing.
Speaker 8: A role playing I apologize, So.
Speaker 1: George, you're up.
Speaker 8: I'd explain to him why, you know, I'm a consider.
Speaker 1: You're studience like third truck.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's try this again.
Speaker 5: You shut up. I am sick of all your in
Speaker 5: conservative crap.
Speaker 8: You know I'm the reason why, third person. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: Maybe George can't role play because the pain is just
Speaker 1: too strong.
Speaker 6: Gets sad just because of.
Speaker 3: The way people treat you.
Speaker 8: It really ticks me off sometimes because it just makes
Speaker 8: me feel like I'm stupid or something.
Speaker 3: I think I know what would make you feel better?
Speaker 7: Oh would that be.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this bad boy out here bollipops. Hopefully
Speaker 1: one day more people like George will come out of
Speaker 1: the closet enough that conservatives will be able to say
Speaker 1: without fear, we're here. We control the entire government, most
Speaker 1: major corporations and Mani media outlets. Get used to.
Speaker 9: It, and welcome to another edition of Digital Watch.
Speaker 1: Today, we're going to talk about the camera cell phone.
Speaker 1: How many times has this happened to you? Okay, everybody,
Speaker 1: Saint Geez ready, all.
Speaker 7: Right, wait, wait, why God?
Speaker 1: Why? Well, if you're like me, that's never happened, and
Speaker 1: thanks to the latest and hottest gadget in America, it
Speaker 1: will still never happen, the camera cell phone. A revolutionary
Speaker 1: advance in our drive to put multiple things into one
Speaker 1: thing is the Reese's Peanut butter Cup of digital technology.
Speaker 1: It combines the rapid battery depletion of a high power
Speaker 1: digital camera with the image production capability of a phone. Already,
Speaker 1: this device is used by an estimated eighty million people worldwide,
Speaker 1: and it's no wonder with these portable, easily concealed dynamos,
Speaker 1: violating someone's privacy has never been easier or more fun.
Speaker 1: So turn off that sorority house shower webcam, Grandpa. In fact,
Speaker 1: the makers of these phones actually make invasion of privacy
Speaker 1: principal selling point in their ads. Gina, check this out.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting next to your new boyfriends.
Speaker 8: Don't you just love your new boyfriend?
Speaker 4: But oh yeah, I bet now you're all gonna think
Speaker 4: twice about eating. Now, for those of you who are
Speaker 4: new to this technology, it's worth sharing a few tips.
Speaker 1: First of all, know your technology. You don't want to
Speaker 1: confuse the phone function with the camera function, otherwise you
Speaker 1: may end up with a memory chip filled with these
Speaker 1: And number two, always get releases from your subjects. A
Speaker 1: release is a simple legal form indemnifying you from any
Speaker 1: legal action should a picture you've taken end up in
Speaker 1: a major national publication such as leg show or shaved agent.
Speaker 1: I cannot stress enough. Verbal permission will not hold up
Speaker 1: in court. As I learned to my dismay in the
Speaker 1: case of Helms, be wrong. So there you have it.
Speaker 1: The camera cell phone another example of technology's amazing power
Speaker 1: to improve your quality of life at the expense of
Speaker 1: everyone else's. For a digital watch, I'm at Helms. Explore
