Absurdity year, Texas: woman arrested for asking another woman to stop talking on the phone in the movies

An Australian tourist has been charged with assault after telling a Texas woman to stop talking on her mobile phone at the movies. (Via Lovelacen testi)

Luckily even the police realize the absurdity of the situation.

Makes one think though: if you are going to be arrested for touching a person's shoulder and telling them to stop talking anyway, maybe you can just as well go all the way and show the offender what the words "cell phone penetration" really mean. No, I don't really recommend doing so, but hey, a girl can dream...
