Weekly Analysis 4-Assignment 4-1

So everyone knows that texting is obviously dangerous while driving. But driving isn't the only time when texting can be a problem. Whenever you go to a movie, there is always something that comes up on the screen asking people to turn off their cellphones. Most people ignore this message and just turn their phone on silent so that it doesn't make any noise and normally that is fine, as long as you aren't actually using it. Movie theaters threaten to kick people out for using their cellphones, but they rarely ever do. But recently, a movie theater in Texas followed through on their threat. A woman was given two warnings before she was kicked out of the Alamo Drafthouse theater. Instead of accepting that what she did was wrong and leaving the issue alone, the woman called the theater and left and angry voicemail, which I have posted below for all of you to listen to. Texting in the theater can be very annoying, not just because of the sound, but because of the glow that the cell phone gives off. If you are a texter in the movies, maybe next time when you are at a theater you will follow the "turn off all cellphones" rule.

The theater will be showing this video before every showing of an R-rated movie this week.
