Cell phones in movie theatres

[giza]

I saw this humorous comment on Slashdot on how to stop people from talking on cellphones during movies:

I was in a theatre this past weekend. Outside the auditorium there was a bigass sign that said "Cellphone Free Zone". During the trailers, there was an announcement to turn off your cellphone. But sure enough, halfway through the movie, a cellphone rang in the row behind me, and the woman not only answered it, but sat there and carried on a conversation. No doubt, the woman felt she was above any petty social convention, and she was too important for the "rules" to apply to her.

At this point, I lost my patience and decided to teach her a lesson about social convention. I stood up, turned around, and announced loudly, "turn off your phone or I will whip out my dick and piss on you!" I think she thought I was kidding until I reached for my fly. Then she told the caller "gotta go" and just hung up. I said, "thank you for your cooperation," sat back down, and tried hard not to ruin the moment by laughing my ass off...

We have goofy trailers around here...

That demonstrate anyone with a ringing phone will be pneumatically ejected from their seat and thrown against the screen to the enjoyment of the other moviegoers.

Not a bad idea, especially if you have friends enemies who you KNOW forget to turn their phone off in the theatre.
