One theatre decided to give their PSA or public service announcement regarding texting during movies some style. Good or bad, it certainly was different! It all started when the Alamo Draft House in Austin, Texas kicked a woman out of their movie house when she continued to text on her phone despite two warnings to stop, which was irritating the other customers, which is ordinary enough. The kicked out run on texting movie goer left an irate voicemail on the Alamo Draft House's answering machine that was two minutes long that was as fowl as the day was long. Madame texter was not going to take her dismissal minus refund quietly. The Alamo Draft House justified it's actions in its blog... But here is where it gets interesting. The recorded voicemail was reincarnated into an onscreen PSA. The nature of the movies played at Alamo Draft House allowed the unedited recording to reincarnate into some funny stuff. 'Luckily, this former patron was so incensed at being kicked out, she quickly called the office and left us the raw ingredients for our latest Don't Talk or Text PSA (public service announcement).'

Anything that catches attention is good, I guess. Texting during movies is annoying so I guess they had to do that.

There's nothing worse than an attack of a sense of humour. It will make others think before whipping out the cell phone, knowing they could be the next PSA with attitude on that screen...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa wow that is funny i dont understand the point of her getting that mad. if you have that much of an issue then you dont need a cell phone to text people. that lady needs slapped. I think if i was alamo draft house i would have banned her from coming back. this lady must have anger management issues if she gets mad at something so small. it was her fault in the first place.

Yep, their reaction to the abusive voice mail gave me a giggle too. Lady made it to a big screen! If that doesn't clue her in, nothing will...
