Wow, talk about a jerk of a manager. Someone should find out what theater this was and start a boycott.
Lucky for you I have access to information unavailable (*) to the rest of you:
But Tumpach insisted Wednesday that’s not what she was doing — she was actually taping parts of her sister’s surprise birthday party celebrated at the Muvico Theater in Rosemont.

Boycott that theater - tell everyone you know to boycott it and why and get them to pass it on.
Show these people who are so willing to become agents of corporate abuse, just who has the power - you the consumer (admittedly, consumers need to stop acting like sheep before they'll be convinced.)
Yah but surely there might be some equivalent to subvocalization, for hand-movements?
Are you suggesting that by moving the hands of someone in a vegetative state, that might prime their cognitive pumps? If so, I'd have thought that this would only work from within - i.e. it's the desire and effort to move the arms that primes the pumps, not the actual moving of the arms.
Disclaimer: I have no good reason for believing this other than my own half-assed thoughts on the subject.
Isn't the point of brain-control that you use your *brain* to control stuff? What's with all the handwaving? If I wanted to spend ten seconds to make a single-dimension movement, surely a mouse and a mouse-mat covered in golden syrup would be cheaper?
Blackmail is a crime because if blackmail were not a crime people would be more likely to engage in self-help to rid themselves of the blackmailer. Such self-help could manifest itself in socially destructive ways.
Note the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars paid by the Catholic Church to dampen the scandal caused by their decades-long support of rampant paedophilia.
Money previously belonging to the parents of the abused children. Something tells me the catholic church came off better.
I've heard at least one intellectual warn that the US risks a combined force consisting of the rest of the world, coming together to take it down as it's out of control.
Have a large stock of nukes seems to prevent this scenario rather well.
They (evil Americans) have just abducted Gary McKinnon from the UK under the threat of sanctions for nosing around computers which weren't secured by password.
It's so good to be in an alliance with a country which doesn't think twice about threatening its partners.
The US's nuclear arsenal is the reason why they can run around the world, invading any country they like, funding terrorism for decades without anyone being able to do anything about it.
Someone needs to find a way to make satisfying the customer profitable. That way, progress will be a natural goal of corporations - everyone will benefit.
Hmmn. how would that work.... ? Some kind of free market (really free, rather than all the bs we have today?)
The US is like the rotting corpse of a 300lb guy in your living room.
It's so large and technologically dangerous that it can sway world opinion yet so utterly corrupt/devoid of self-regulation that anyone with a pile of money can use that military might to threaten the whole world and further their own agenda.
How much longer do we have to tolerate this shit?
Come on China!
I for one support the proliferation of nuclear weapons so that the US needs to think twice before bouncing around the china shop.
Consider though, that for decades the movie industry has been using every psychological trick in the book to make the public desire their product, all with the surety that they controlled the distribution mechanism.
Now that they no longer have that control, all their investment in psychological tricks is working against them. There is widespread public support, albeit covert.
No, it's 1) whine about it 2) pay for an organised grass-roots whining session 3) buy the new law which then looks like politicians responding to the public will.
Their job is producing shitty movies, snorting coke and strong-arming $5000 out of each of their customers, not ensuring that their artificially-created-shortage-of-product distribution system isn't totally borked.

Why leave it at that? Boycott the whole chain: www.muvico.com

Ok. I'll be the first to troll :D

Removing the blackmailer gene from the gene pool?
There is not a single disproven event in Toy Story
It seems to me that it makes more sense to seek proof not disproof.
tldr squared!

Yah - I imagine this gives your allies sleepless nights.
Omg! If I'd known, I wouldn't have replied :P

Please don't say 'brother' to me. You know how the Americans see terrorists everywhere..
I'm just tired of their hypocrisy and warmongering but am a pacifist so will have to settle for being crushed under their Imperialist Jackboot.
Get crushed beneath the American Imperialist Jackboot (tm) ?
God bless America - land of the free - of course the rest of the world needs to be subjugated to make this happen.

I just love the retards who receive universal truths via UPS. Good job, Skippy.
I hope they butt fuck me in prison and give me the AIDS.
Yours, AC.
No, it's
1) whine about it
2) pay for an organised grass-roots whining session
3) buy the new law which then looks like politicians responding to the public will.

Is that how long it takes to download a DVD* ?

Dear Water Company,
My Child is all wet. My neighbour's child squirted him with water obtained from you. I demand that you cut off my neighbour's water supply.
Thanks.
