I'm sorry ... but is this dude for real?!?
Varus -- you keep spouting about "you liberals" because they are calling out your stupidity. That has nothing to do with it. I normally don't post in here, but just read for the lulz, but please oh please for the love of the Goddess -- STFU!!
I was going to make a thread about this but the Gbaji joke I had in mind wasn't clever enough.

Meet Dale Fout [pictured, left] and Brenda Godwin. One weekday in April, they both went to a movie theater in Grapevine.
Both are 54. Fout, a marketing consultant, describes himself as a 220-pound “pretty big guy. I’m broad. I’m not fat. Used to play football.†Godwin says she is a 136-pound skin care specialist.

Her side
“He had his phone out. The light was shining at me. I’m thinking, ‘He’s going to turn it off.’†But he didn’t. ‘OK, this is ridiculous.’ So I reached over and tapped him on the shoulder. It was very bright. I was only trying to get his attention. He whipped around and said, ‘Don’t ever touch me.’ I was a little taken aback.
“He jumps up and whirls around towards me and says, ‘I am charging you with assault,’ and he flew out of the theater.â€
His side
“I got a text, and I responded to it because it was something important. It was something that was on a deadline situation, OK. [GRRR, MARKETING CAMPAIGNS NEVER SLEEP! -Ed] I held it against my chest purposely where I could barely see it. … I could text but hide the majority of the light coming from the phone.
“She said something. I couldn’t make it out. That’s why I turned. She was probably saying something like, ‘Get off your phone.’ I turned, and she pushed. She just happened to push my neck at the time my neck was in an awkward position. Kinda like having a little fender bender, and you get a little whiplash in your neck, you know.â€

The 54-year-old Fout characterized himself as “outspoken†and “fiery†but said he would never strike a woman and doesn’t seek confrontation with people. Indeed, he was the one who left the theater and complained to the manager about the woman’s “haughty†attitude and about her pushing him. He didn’t confront her or make a scene inside the theater because he didn’t want to bother other patrons. He did the right thing, he said. Besides, he was making one little text and holding his phone up close to his chest so the light wouldn’t bother anyone else. The woman was making a big deal out of nothing.
“I was more offended by her attitude than what she did to me,†he said. “All she had to do was say, ‘Hey, that phone is bothering me,’ and I would have apologized and stepped out [of the theater]. But don’t push me.â€
He was also offended by the way Lieber presented the story.
