Caught on Tape by a Cell Phone Camera

I try to be serious in most of my blogs, but tonight is going to be an exception. One of my favorite pasttimes is noticing inconsistencies in everyday life. So, I was watching a show on TV tonight, and the reporter made the following comment: "...much of it was caught on tape by a cell phone camera..."

Why do I find this entertaining? First, as my friends in Europe told me long ago, it's no longer cell phones, it's mobile phones. Cell phones died way back when. But more importantly, have you ever seen a mobile phone with a tape recorder built-in? What's the smallest tape? Micro DV? Probably so. Do any of you find this as amusing as I do? TV reporters are not as savvy as they may think they are :)

Note to Tucker Carlson: please don't take this personally :)
