I'm sick and tired of all these Mutherf$#@*!n Ducks on this Mutherf#*%($g Escalator!

Of course the ducks won't go near the people, but they can't exactly get up the escalator either.
Perhaps it's my inner PETA (but really I hate them so).
07/02/09
No one is making them do that. If they thought really hard about it, they could probably come up with another way of getting to the top of the escalator (I won't spoil it for you; you can figure it out all by yourself too!)

Ducks aren't sparrows. They kinda need a bit of a running start to get airborne, and they're clearly not going to get that by hopping up stairs that are moving down like that. Wanna try again?

Seriously thrown out ?!
Talk about overreacting, are you sure you didn't break or steal something?
07/02/09
(Steal? ME?? Nope. I may be a lot of things, but a thief isnt one, nor a liar either, much to the credit of my upbringing and conscience.)

Cut the President some slack on wanting to do something to commemorate it while addressing (extremely valid) criticism of his own backsliding of key issues that got him elected.

Trust me, as soon as I Hear "I want everybody to meet Burger and Fries", I know have about two seconds to answer the phone. I do get strange looks when walking through PetsMart and it goes off.

@Imtheredude: My name is Pinky, damnit!
@Valnen: Some cats are just moody, and they may have caught this one after an exam. Some also HATE being near other animals, and when put in a kennel, show their true nature. Like Simon:

Folks, it's real simple. Turn your phone to "vibrate". Or turn it off. You're questioning the President; I'm fairly certain that asking the President questions as part of your work duties takes precedence over anyone who may be calling you.
If you don't know how to turn the phone to vibrate or how to turn it off, remove the battery.

In the decade that has passed since the Motorola StarTAC, there is no excuse for a cellphone to go off at such an inopportune time.

In the decade that has passed that has gone from IRC to forums to blogs, there is so excuse for making retarded comments and not expecting someone to call you out.
lol... accidents happen

She has posted 2 signs per wall and one on the door entering her courtroom that read that if a cell-phone rings audibly in her courtroom, the person will be held in contempt of court and fined $500. And she regularly fines attorneys for violating it.
As to your contention that keys can flip it from vibrate to aubible, I don't carry keys in the same pocket as my iPhone. I doubt many people do.
Secondly, and more importantly, the phone can be turned OFF. Even the iPhone can be turned off.
It is tremendously disrespectful to the office of the President. The message it sends is that the owner of the phone does not think enough of meeting with the President of the United States to turn off his/her cellphone for 20 minutes while the President delivers a brief address to the public to commemorate a major milestone in modern American history.
Do accidents happen? Yes. Is that an accident that could have been easily avoided had the person evinced even a modicum of respect and consideration? Easily.
If the phone can be turned off or silenced, then there is no excuse. So here is my challenge to you. Answer me one question:

"Grandpa, do we have to listen to this old folk music? All they do is say the same thing over and over again. Why doesn't he just fuck her like an animal? How did you listen to music before auto-tuning?"

I didn't get your comment, but I used the Google and figured it out.

I'd have loved to see him go ballistic though.

"Am I going to walk around and rip your **** notepad out, in the middle of press conference? Then why the **** are you quacking right through my speech? Quack-quack-quack-quack - like this in the background.
What the **** is it with you? What don't you **** understand? You got any **** idea about - "Hey, it's **** distracting having somebody's phone start Quacking behind Chuck Todd in the middle of the **** speech? Give me a **** answer! What don't you get about it?"
