Fark.com, a social networking Web site whose users submit stories they believe are not newsworthy, saw fit to post a Gannett News Service story this weekend on controlling the volume of movie theater trailers and commercials. Assemblywoman Sandra Galef, D-Ossining, Westchester County, has submitted legislation that would prevent theaters from playing ads and trailers at a louder volume than movies.
The following description is on the Web site:
“Having rid New York state of crime, corruption, high taxes, pollution, traffic, potholes, cockroaches, rats, silverfish, illegal immigrants and Hamptons (expletive deleted,) state assemblywoman declares war on loud movie theatres.�
The item was posted Saturday on http://www.fark.com/politics/.
