You don't want your phone to ring while these guys are performing

String Quintet Attacks Phone User

A String Quintet attacks a guy talking on his mobile phone. Now if only orchestras were able to do this to people whose mobile phones go off in concerts.

Wow, I'm glad they were just goofing. Before it got to that part I was thinking if he jumped me for using a cell phone at his show in a noisy mall I'd break his violin over his head and then break him over my knee :)
It should be possible with modern technology. A device ("black box") senses the cell phone the instant it starts to ring and sends a highly focussed ray of whatever to silence the phone. An option on this device would send a small electric shock to the person bearing the cell phone at the same time.
Hilarious!
Cellphone jamming. Put some in your concert hall today, or just shut up about it. There's somebody's million dollars. Don't forget the red sign at the doorway that says phones don't work past that point. Otherwise you'll get sued.
haha too funny
