Kate May, New Jersey. A charming little beach town that set the standard for taste and sophistication we've come to associate with the Jersey Shore. But in recent years, tourists have taken their fanny packs elsewhere. To bring visitors back, town leaders developed the Cool Cape May campaign.

106.685 - 120.209 Cape May Local

Cool Cape May was an expression that was actually used back in 1896. It's cooler down here than it is in the city, so that's where it came from. We were cool back then, we're cool today. Kind of a double-entronde, if you will. Forgive me, but I believe the proper pronunciation is...

123.996 - 141.302 Ed Helms

Okay. I took two years of Spanish. Okay. To attract tourists, the town has relaxed some of its more excessive rules. Among the changes, opening more beaches for kayaking, adding a five-minute grace period at parking meters, and then there's this.

142.002 - 145.183 Cape May Local

Come to Cape May, be cool, play, and feel free to wear a Speedo.

and welcome to another edition of Digital Watch. Today, we're going to talk about the camera cell phone. How many times has this happened to you? Okay, everybody, say cheese. Ready? Oh. All right, wait. Wait, say cheese. Oh, God.

720.759 - 724.221 Unknown Speaker

Oh, my God, why?

725.522 - 742.675 Ed Helms

Well, if you're like me, that's never happened. And thanks to the latest and hottest gadget in America, it will still never happen. The camera cell phone, a revolutionary advance in our drive to put multiple things into one thing, is the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of digital technology.

743.355 - 769.593 Ed Helms

It combines the rapid battery depletion of a high-powered digital camera with the image production capability of a phone. Already, this device is used by an estimated 80 million people worldwide, and it's no wonder. With these portable, easily concealed dynamos, violating someone's privacy has never been easier or more fun. So turn off that sorority house shower webcam, Grandpa.

In fact, the makers of these phones actually make invasion of privacy the principal selling point in their ads. Gina, check this out. I'm sitting next to your new boyfriend.

784.704 - 786.685 George Andrews

Don't you just love your new boyfriend?

789.146 - 821.536 Ed Helms

Busted! Oh, yeah! I bet now you're all gonna think twice about eating. Now, for those of you who are new to this technology, it's worth sharing a few tips. First of all, know your technology. You don't want to confuse the phone function with the camera function, otherwise you may end up with a memory chip filled with these. And number two, always get releases from your subjects.

821.676 - 849.651 Ed Helms

A release is a simple legal form indemnifying you from any legal action should a picture you've taken end up in a major national publication, such as Leg Show or Shaved Asian. I cannot stress enough, verbal permission will not hold up in court, as I learned to my dismay in the case of Helms v. Wong. So there you have it.

850.171 - 861.376 Ed Helms

The camera cell phone, another example of technology's amazing power to improve your quality of life at the expense of everyone else's. For Digital Watch, I'm Ed Helms.
