Great, now I feel sad for virtual dogs too.

What kind of sick sadist thinks these things up? My wife can't even walk past pets up for adoption without feeling depressed. #sniff

@Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: I was thinking the same thing man.

It actually makes me look forward to getting home later and seeing my #dog go nuts as soon as I walk through the door. I wish I could say my wife was as excited to see me walk through that same door...

@UnderLoK: (Insert lame overused joke about your wife being as excited as the dog when I walk through your door here)

Seriously though, my wife is usually pretty damn happy to see me when I come home.

The cats however...are usually at the top of the steps meowing at me to feed them. At least they are when they're not trying to trip me and cause me to fall to my death. #sniff

Here is my experience duckhunting:

Wake up at 3:30am

Be on an airboat in the middle of a swamp (Everglades) at 4:00am

Climb into a pile of sawgrass (appropriately named) and sit chest deep in water at 4:20am.

Note that this is in winter, and it's 30-someodd degrees.

Wait for another hour, while pondering alligators and the leeches that are attaching themselves to your waders.

5:30am, fire shots at passing ducks as the sun rises (I did get a few).

6:30am get picked up in the airboat.

Never again.

@Sticks Calhoun: It's bad enough sitting in a tree stand in similar weather, I don't even want to try it bobbing in the water. Hope you had wader heaters. #duckhunter

Surely you just put a big fuck-off electro-magnet at the door of the theater? Tell people with pace makers they can't watch movies and simply fry all electronics as you enter/exit.

At least we can reduce the prirate community to only old people with fuddy hearts.

@ZaxxonQ.com: Maybe because you would have realized that it's a useless product that preys on the ignorance of industry executives who are dumb as fuck, and that it will only be a long-term detriment to the movie-going public?

@met2art has an invisible star: I hear the studios' next anti piracy plan is to make movies longer than videotapes so strategically placed personell in the theatres can hear the pirates 'reloading' and catch the culprits in the act. I am guessing it won't be until 2012 or so that they discover that people are using digital video cameras.

An IR blocking filter for any camera model you care to think of costs, what, $20? Maybe $30, max.

So this will stop camera pirates for all of about half an hour. Way to invest in that technology! :P

I for one support this. Who wants to watch a camcorder filming a movie anyways? I hate those lame ass pirated versions of movies. They vex me.

@ssoltero: They vex you? They vex-.....You are vexed by these movies? Camcorder rips of theatrical movies are vexing?

Hey guys, listen up! This has gone too far! Time and time again, Big Content has locked down our media, or implemented inconvenient methods of protecting their content. But now, a person has actually been VEXED by these counter-piracy measures. This has gone too far!

How many more people need to be VEXED before we stand up and say, "No more!" We cannot allow vexation to continue in America. We have to resist the vexers, wherever they may attack us!

Now....what does vex mean, again?

But what about the screener copies? Most of the films that get leaked are screener copies or workprint copies, people rarely do telescreeners anymore.
