The patron's device has four buttons on it: 1. Sound 2. Picture 3. Piracy 4. Other disturbance "When they press the button, a staff member is alerted and responds accordingly. Presumably #3 sends a call directly to the MPAA bat phone. "That's hilarious corporation-oriented design, eh? Surely the moviegoer's number one complaint is noisy neighbours, and yet it's bundled under 'other disturbance'. Where’s my button for ‘the guy next to me reeks’ or ‘I paid $11 for this jackalope turd?’" Link posted by Mark Frauenfelder at 11:58:44 AM permalink \| Other blogs' comments View a recent day: June 10, 2007 \| June 09, 2007 \| June 08, 2007 \| June 07, 2007 \| June 06, 2007 \| June 05, 2007 \| June 04, 2007 \| previous days \| all BB archives by month and year Email this entry to: Your email address: Message (optional):	Boing Boing Sponsored by: Your Text Ad Here Get BB by email:
