Remember kids: Fueling an argument on the internet is more grown up than not.

It's not about growing up. It's about knowing when to stop!

The way you constructed your comment is what offended me. There is no reason to prove someone wrong by basically calling them an idiot and stupid. Do you do this with people you know in real life? If so, I imagine you may not have many friends. At least where I live, people are nice to each other, even when they are wrong. Statements such as "You have no idea" and "how do you not realize this?" aren't necessary. If we knew each other in real life, you would have said things differently I'm sure.

My statement was more of a sarcastic remark with how far some people/businesses take things. I know that it would never happen, or should never happen. Believe me, I am aware of the Deaf community.

So many accusatory statements in one post! I have no idea about this or that or anything! Why not constructively tell me I'm wrong instead of shouting it out?

Ok so the screenplay is different. I now know this (since it was crammed down my throat). Trade secrets indeed in there then. The NDA was an example of something people sign to not discuss something or release information about something. I'm sure something similar is in place when people handle screenplays. Am I incorrect about that?

Also, I but it on DVD once, then never pay to watch it again. I can let it run on my DVD player 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and watch it over and over and over if I so choose.

And thanks to you, I doubt I'll ever be commenting on Consumerist again...possibly not even reading/supporting it. If the community has people such as yourself floating around, I do not want to be a part of the community.

There should be no suit here. It is easy for a person to sit down, watch the whole movie, type out the screenplay, and then share it with people. We've already HEARD it, why can't we READ it too?

FOX better remove subtitles from movies as well if they are upset over this. Subtitles do the work for you!

If the movies aren't released yet, then I can understand that as it is probably still under some sort of NDA or something like that.

The 10 Retailers That Keep Their Employees Happiest

Based on my fiancee's work experience, Sam's Club should not be anywhere on any "happiest employee's" lists. It sucks because they keep the stores under-staffed in order to make the highest profit margins. Then make "part time" employees work 36+ hour weeks without the full time benefits.

And let's not start on trying to get someone to fill in for you when you have to go on break...

Are TSA Scanners Likely To Cause Cancer In Travelers?

I'm actually concerned for sensitive parts of the body with this one. Breast cancer, testicular cancer, etc. Does the government even think about these things? Frankly I'm not one for a government that won't let other people determine if something is safe or not, nor am I for one that may be potentially killing us in order to "prevent" us from potentially being killed by others.

Town Tells Walmart It Can't Have Early Morning Black Friday

Glad to see lots of people in my area are on this site!

I'm happy for Victor because of the one thing that was mentioned: Giving them the variance would open a flood gate because it would set a precedent and lots of other stores would look for variances with THEIR agreements.

If you give a mouse a cookie...

Citing freedom of the press? Does this mean the Yellow Pages can get press passes to things? If so, I'll join the Yellow Pages just for that.

Parent: Control your kid and know where they are.

Store: Don't touch kids like that. Yell at them, sure, but don't grab them.
