Who needs cops when you’ve got an IPod?

Ever seen someone swerving down Main Street in Johnson City at 2 AM and thought: is it actually POSSIBLE he doesn’t know how incredibly drunk he is?

Thank God, it’s the new IPod add-on for your favorite alchy friend:  “The IBreath”.  Here’s how it works: you’re stumbling out of the Rat at 1 in the morning, and you think to yourself, “Goodness me, is it possible I might be too inebriated to operate a motor vehicle?”

Then, you pull out the “retractable IBreath wand” and exhale into it.  If your BAC is over .08, you immediately inform the nearest good samaritan who gives you a ride home.

OK, maybe not.  But we can hope you at least call a cab.  Because I’ve definitely seen too much swerving on Main Street at 2 AM.

MADD is freaked that the IBreath will cause MORE drinking; they say that college kids will play drinking games to see if they can blow OVER the thing’s maximum read of .20.  OK, I get it, but isn’t that a little like arguing we shouldn’t have gun safeties because idiots might play Russian roulette to test the safety?

I just don’t understand who takes their IPod to State Street in the middle of the night.

BingPop is pop culture. It’s Binghamton News, nightlife, and art. It’s Endwell, Endicott, and Johnson City. What’s going on downtown after 5 and where’s the hot new restaurant to grab lunch. It’s a catalogue of the quirkiest stuff in Broome County and instant updates from a ton of reliable (and occasionally not so reliable) sources.

Where’s that neat little brunch place in Whitney Point and what’s the newest chain to open its doors on the Vestal Parkway. We’ll talk about the staples: Boca Joe’s, Number 5, and the Cyber Café West. What’s must-see at the Art Mission Theater and who’s showing at the Brunelli Gallery. And the latest show to be announced at the Broome County Arena.

But you’ll also know what’s up and coming before it’s come up. Mostly, it’s all about the Southern Tier. With a nice bit of trash about Paris Hilton and Brad Pitt folded in for flavor. And although it’s true: we do [heart] Binghamton. It doesn’t mean we always gotta be nice...
