Theater has last word on Texter complaining

Texas movie theater makes an example (and a PSA) of a texting audience member

Ever been annoyed by a loud-talking patron at a film? Had that nail-biting darkened hallway scene ruined by someone turning on their phone to send a text? Well, one Texas theater has your back. Alamo Drafthouse, a local chain of dine-and-screen movie theaters in Austin, Texas, has long waged a war against impolite moviegoers. And the latest customer to object to their firm rules against talking and texting during an evening out has become the unwitting star of a PSA released by the company on Monday.

Am thinking that someone could make a lot of money coming up with an electronic device that has limited range but it blanks out all cell phone signals inside a theater so that nobody would be able to do ANYTHING with their phones to communicate once past the doors of the theater room.
At least it'll knock that crap off real quick.

Oh sure people should be considerate, polite and respectful and know better... yeah right!

No, actually that's a good idea as well... sort of a blanket coverage on the freeways (at least) to prevent accidents... however not all accidents are caused by improper cell-phone use... so they wouldn't be able to call 911 if necessary.
Still it's a thought.

If they are smart enough to build the device they should have a 911 fail safe channel.

Does she kiss her Momma with that mouth?

Fun to hear a person spouting obscenities being all PO'd about not being treated politely...I bet the poor usher got an earful or two of her 'politeness' as well....
