Common Courtesy

Hugh Jackman, the ever striking actor best known for his role as Wolverine, did what many of us want or try to do when we encounter rudeness: he stopped what he was doing (he was acting on stage at the time) and asked a theatre audience member to turn off his cell phone.

Get this: in the middle of performing a play, he broke out of character and asked the offending person to turn off his cell phone.

A-men.

How rude some people are when they leave their cell phones on in a theatre or church or anywhere else. How desperate are people to Twitter, text or talk on a cell phone in the middle of a performance, Mass or screening? Just turn the damn thing off.
