Courteous Movie Patrons:1 Idiots:345,670,223,932
I’m afraid that while I was initially overjoyed when I heard that a couple got maced after refusing to quit talking on a cell phone durring a movie, the sense of victory faded a bit when I learned a few extra details:
1. It wasn’t a real mace like in Braveheart. It was pepperspray.
2. It was for talking during Catwoman. Come on guys- you can do better than that. Step it up next time or people will discredit our struggle.
Oh well- a win’s a win. You gotta stat building momentum for the cause somehow. Now this pepper spray idea- that has some real potential. Last time I went to a movie I got the idea to start bringing a water gun and zap the talkers right in the eye. Pepperspray would present a much more effective deterrant. Heck, a tazer would be freaking perfect. Hmmmm… anyone had any luck with those?
Thanks to MAC for the heads-up on the story.

You know what I love?!?! These jerks that bring those little lazer pointers into movies.
Why I was in a Movie the other day and this guy kept pointing the lazer pointer up on the screen and so I called all my friends on my cell phone to tell them what a jerk this guy was… and then out of no where this other guy sprays me in the face with pepperspray!!! What the heck man!

That’s awesome. I rarely go to movies in the theatre because so many people talk (both on and off their cell phones) nowadays.
