Women in Japan are flashing on trains and the gropers are running…flashing their cell phones, that is.

“Do you just grope me?!”

“Ant-Groping Appli” it is called and it ranks #7 in Japan’s top-10 cell phone applications for this week.

The application was released in 2005 but it is just now growing in popularity…a sign that groping is/was growing in popularity, too?

The cell phone flashes –

“Excuse me, did you just grope me?”

“Groping is a crime,”

and finally, “Shall we head to the police?”

By pressing an “Anger” icon on the phone, the threats get progressively stronger.

It can be downloaded for free on Web-enabled phones.

Tokyo’s Met Police says that 1,853 people in Japan were arrested for groping passengers on trains in 2005.

It’s likely much worse, but women are still too embarrassed to cry out…but their cell phones aren’t.
