Well, if we are going to go for public embarassment, how about we bring back the stocks?
Who has the rotten veggies?
See, people are rude now because it has become a crime to teach them manners. Long ago, somebody got all rude and uppity, and you would pull out a glove, slap the crap out of them, and say "I demand satisfaction." People behaved out of the fear of the consequences.
You can't just drag a rude person out of a theatre by their ear and instruct them in manners right there in the parking lot. It's against the law now.
There are no consequences for being rude. There is only having your cake and eating it to. Theatres and such very rarely ask somebody to leave. Personal liability and stuff like that. They could ask, but people that refuse to leave are going to have to be tossed out, and that might be just a little bit dangerous. Or wind up in a law suit. And the police aint going to do much. They are to busy with other things to come to a theatre and toss somebody out because they are just yapping away on their cell phone.
And if you are really unhappy about me using a jammer, I could just as easily turn to smashing cell phones under my heel. This is a means of non violent protest. No property damage, nobody hurt.
Of course, the really funny cell phone users are the ones you keep telling to turn off the damn phone, and they get fed up and say "Can't you see I am on the phone damnit! Shut up! How rude." In the middle of a crowded public place.
I'd very much like to shove that particular type of person's cell phone right up their nose.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
