Text Till You Drop

A friend sent me this ridiculous story, and of course I voted no in the accompanying poll. It's about movie theatres allowing moviegoers to text during films. The reasoning is priceless: "..it might be beneficial to allow texting during the film because it would get more people in the seats who might have previously felt alienated. Especially young people who are so used to being plugged in and always accessible and who might feel actual anxiety at not being allowed to look at their phones for two hours." There's something wrong if you "feel alienated" because you can't use your cell phone! Why should businesses cave in to idiots? And why bother going to the movies at all if you're not going to pay attention?
