Blessed Cellphone
Monday, June 29th, 2009Brian Ashcraft of Wired was having terrible luck with cell phones: he ran through four of them in less than a year. So he took his next one to the Kanda Shrine near Akihabara, which specializes in spiritually purifying electronic equipment. Result: one shiny new purified and blessed cell phone.
He describes the process in a photo essay: Gadget Blessings: Shinto Priest Protects Electronics From Bad Mojo.
(Presumably it won’t let him browse for porn, but he doesn’t seem to mind.)
