After banning smoking in bars and restaurants, New York is tackling what many see as another major public annoyance.
From April, requests to switch off your mobile phone before a play or concert begins will be backed up with the threat of a $50 fine.

Anyone making a call, talking on their mobile, or even being rung during the performance will be breaking the law.

Maybe this law should be brought to the UK also.

As usual, the law is no fix for lack of consideration and intelligence within the general public.

It’s a shame that some folks cannot turn off the technology attached at the hip for a couple hours. I think it’s cool to be connected but one must be able to break away from catching that one phone call they might have missed if they didn’t have that cell phone on. When I go out on the town with my wife, I turn the thing off. I have it with me in case of an emergency but I don’t bother turning it on.

Absolutely spot on, an appropriate punishment for such an irritating disturbance.

Good. I always turn  mine off during a movie, or at least put it on silent.  If I absolutely need to see if someones trying to reach me.  Im pretty sure all cell phones have a vibrating feature now.  People should use it.

I agree, and what about those phones with the freaking lights!!
Yeah, they\'re cool, but not when your watching a movie damn it, even if they do have vibration on you can still see the freaking lights down there going off everyminute. This happened to me when me and my cousins went to watch Darkness falls, some stupid dumbass had a cell phone with a blue light down at the bottom, every five minutes it would go off, and you can see it, and he would actually sit there and talk talk talk. Then a red light came on down there, then a green one. I payed to see a movie, not a light show.

You should\'ve told the usher, now that would be great, having the guy caught in midway.
