Cell Phones Illegal in Theaters

Yes. You read that correctly. According to Reuters, as of Sunday, February 19, New York City now restricts cellular phones in "any indoor theater, library, museum, gallery, motion picture theater, concert hall or building in which theatrical, musical, dance, motion picture, lecture or other similar performances are exhibited." If you are caught, you will be fined a hefty $50. While the IDEA is brilliant to help minimize cell phones ringing during live performances, but this just seems outrageous. What do you think? Let the debate begin!
