    If it can block cellphone calls, it will certainly block the rays from the orbiting mind-control satellites. The movie would start, this blocking system would be activated, and the whole audience would riot when the MPAA ad with the starving carpenter berating the audience for stealing movies when they just paid full admission was run.

    "You do not have a right to not be annoyed by other humans." I honestly, and seriously disagree. I have the right NOT to be annoyed.

    You're both annoying the crap out of me; please surrender yourselves at your local police stations for re-education (and a free beating).
