In exciting news from the app world: Drunk drivers can, for just $0.99, buy a friend who isn’t going to leave with that cute bartender, ply them with drinks, or sloppily assure them that their fairly diagonal approximation of wobbling a straight line is “good enough.” Nope, now with the Funtoxication App for iPhone and [...]
