children at children's movies
Gothamist posted a post about the wank (<--of the journalfen variety) that arose
when a man was slow to remove his crying, wailing child from a screening of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.. In the comments are accusations of racism, a diatribe against the police state, gems of the "deal with it" variety, such as:
Once, I had tuberculosis and was in the back of the theatre. I was coughing up a storm and watching "the crow". Now it was a slight cough but people were still yelling at me to leave. But I stayed cause I paid my 8.50 and have a right to be in that theater. what do you expect people? Public theatre. Public noise. you expect other peoples sweat not to be on the chairs you sit on? You expect other peoples urea not to be on the toilet bowls? You expect other peoples nose hairs not to be in the popcorn you eat? well you expect too much.
and, of course, the ever popular "con" variety:
Oompa Loompa doompety doo
I've got a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
Why must you bring your loud kids to movies?
They whine, bitch and moan, and cry "I have to go pee"
Why can't you try simply renting "Shrek 2"?
Or could you read your kid a book?
You get no, you get no, you get NOOOOO
YOU GET NO MOVIE TRAILERS

If you're not breeding, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompety do.
Well, I *was* planning on checking out Charlie & the Chocolate Factory at the Imax theater tonight, but, on second thought, how nice and shiny my new Constantine DVD is! *pets*
