It should be an option, not a requirement.
An option that turns on during Friday and Saturday nights so drunken texts to professors are less likely to get you kicked out of school.

I think the submitter plans on not using it, and most likely submitted the story to inform others, should they wish to not use it as well.
I think the submitter should elaborate on what this "wrong" way of rubbing is. Just to inform other, should they wish to be rubbed in that way.
I for one welcome our new wrong-rubbing overlords

Perhaps in the near future it will be repurposed to filter out the stupid.
I have a hostfile for that.

WASHINGTON, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Thursday began the award of $2 billion in grants and loans over the next 75 days as part of a plan to dramatically expand Americans' **** and create *************.
The $2 billion is part of an overall $7.2 billion set aside in President Barack Obama's $787 billion economic recovery package to bring ******* access to unserved or underserved U.S. communities.
Vice President Joe Biden, at an event in Dawsonville, Ga., announced details of an initial $183 million investment in a range of ******* projects in 17 states.
"New **** access means more **** and better **** in rural areas and underserved urban communities around the country," he said in a statement.
Biden's chief economist, Jared Bernstein, told reporters in a briefing the administration was not able to provide more precise figures on exactly how many **** would be created.
