But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope

Maybe the single greatest invention ever

If you're like me, which I assume most people are, then you hate people that make noise during movies. The most common offenders are the people that hold full conversations about who-knows-what, but there are also the cell phone talkers and the old people that have to yell to each other about every line that every character says. That's right, I'm dogging on old people. Who else do I hate? The people that bring their kids to see 3-hour epics. Hell, all kids that are in a theater showing anything that is not a cartoon or made by Nickelodeon.

Well, here is the answer for all of us: the remote control complainer. Regal theaters will be installing these devices that allow you to push a button to not only complain about the picture and the sound, but also the annoying-ass people sitting behind you - all without leaving the theater! Basically, one person in the theater - a member of their "Loyalty Club" gets the device and they get to page a theater employee if there is a problem. Its not the solution, but its a good start.

It seems like a good answer, but just like the governmnet, its major fault is the people that have to enforce it. What happens when a minimum wage teenager tries to enforce on a 6 foot four pain in the ass mouth?
