Not to be a grump downer, but I don't want to see a bunch of "false positives" dilute the importance of these little pieces of metal, which have saved lives.  Sigh.  As someone who wears a Real Medic Alert necklace and has been since the age of 8 (real site is here http://www.medicalert.org/ ) I say don’t fuck with EMS folks with bullshit like this.

An intricant pledge system in which a bond is formed between two porn loving individuals. If one should die, the other will immediatly remove all pornography from their house before the parents can find it (keeping at their own discresion). Eric's parents were uninformed of their son's permiscious activities thanks to the porn buddy system. i think it's from the bbc comedy coupling. isn’t that why the porn buddy were invented?
