Cinema warns moviegoers about “annoying” Muslims
From Eeyore at Vlad Tepes:
Advisory in a Copenhagen theatre creates a firestorm of criticism and an eventual apology.
A poster that appeared in the window of Copenhagen’s Palads theatre Saturday night warned patrons that due to Eid, the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, more Muslims would be in the theatres than normal and they could get loud and become annoying to other cinema guests.
The sign even offered advice as to which of the films on offer could be the noisiest: “Movies like the Batman 3 [Dark Knight Rises], the Bourne Legacy, Total Recall, Abraham Lincoln and Prometheus, but one can never be sure in advance,” read the warning.
Guests were advised to contact security guards if they experienced noisy Muslims.
“G4S guards will be available all day, so if you experience unacceptable behaviour, please contact them,” read the notice.
The notice went on to apologise “in advance” to cinema guests for any “bother” that may occur.
