Texas Woman Angered by Movie Theater Ban on Text Messages; Theater Puts Her in ...

Tim and Carrie League started the Alamo Drafthouse movie theater chain, they said, because they liked good films and good beer, in a nice, quiet setting. Since they first opened in Austin, Texas, in 1997, the Leagues say they've had a strict policy against talking in the theater, using a cellphone and, more recently, bothering people by texting during a film.

About a month ago, Tim League says, a woman was thrown out of one of the chain's 10 theaters for sending text messages -- and retaliated by leaving an angry voice mail on the box office phone line. League said he thought it was so over-the-top that it was funny. They used it as the public service announcement they play before films to encourage people to keep quiet.

"The reaction has been huge," League said in a telephone interview with ABC News. "People love it in the theater."

People love it -- or perhaps we should say they $#*! love it. The language in the original voice mail is, well, colorful, and the version you can watch in our video player above ( or click HERE ) was heavily cleaned up by the theater chain. The uncensored version, League says, is only played in one theater, and only before R-rated films.

"I was wondering if you guys actually enjoy treating your customers like pieces of s---?" says the woman in the recording. "Because that's how I felt when I went to the Alamo Drafthouse!"

"I was not AWARE that I couldn't text in your theater. All right? I've texted in ALL the other theaters in Austin, and no one ever gave a f--- about what me -- I was doing on my f---in' phone."

She went on, but you get the idea. "I'm gonna tell EVERYONE about how $#!#! you are."

League says that's just fine with him. "It's really just a common-courtesy issue," he said.

He added, "It's really great the story has spread. Maybe people will get the message." Text messaging, he said, has gotten out of hand, with a survey from the Pew Research Center showing that a third of American teenagers send more than 100 texts per day. And besides, he said, "It was driving me crazy."

So have a seat and enjoy the show. But until it ends, please be so kind as to shut the $#!#! up.

128imux: funny chain text messages

Responded to my RFE with EVL (emploment verification)way back in august 2008 through attorney .so considering the date on notice that is june 23 rd. 33 days time has passed.but when i consider the date i received i still have time,which date should i consider,iam confused....,is it OK if i send my reply next week.Now iam worried,as just now i came to know about my letter from uscis(no online update though). what to do now,iam worried ,please advice. The online notice specifies that "Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the case with correct fee". Unfortunately, we did not receive the notice till June 5, 2008. I called USCIS and requested them for the papers, they reassured me to have the communication sent to their Vermont office and that I have to wait for another 45 days. Today morning 26th June, 2008 my employer received a notice from USCIS saying that the H1-B petition has been rejected because it was not randomly selected for processing. I concurrently filed both my I-140 and I-485 back in Oct 09. My I-140 was approved on March 18th and then nothing since. I read that by concurrent filing the process is quicker. I am on an EB1-C. My question is has anyone had any experience in the time frame for concurrent filing under the category i am under? I have checked the tracker and cannot see anyone in similar position. Time line is what i am looking for or is it a "wait and see" situation?
