Don't take a picture, it won't last longer

Let me make a public service announcement about a pandemic that's sweeping the nation. And no, it's not the damn swine flu. It's people taking pictures at concerts with camera phones.

PEOPLE. Your camera phone is not going to take a decent shot of anything, much less a teeny-tiny figure up on the stage 20 yards away. All you are going to see is a blurry figure in front of colored lights.

Ditto with pictures of the crowd.

Don't even get me started with the pictures of your friends. It's really annoying when you take 47 pictures of your friends, 30 of which you are self-portraiting with them from an arm's length away. Those pictures won't turn out either, just FYI. You'll inevitably cut your head off or have your eyes closed.

We went to the Franz Ferdinand concert tonight. It was awesome. Except for the girl in front of me who I was about to punch in the face because she wouldn't stop with the damn camera phone. And it had a flash -- now with twice as much annoyance!

So please, just say no to concert pictures. We're all depending on you.

I agree. and while you're at it - don't send me blurry pictures of tiny people on stage at a concert that you took with your camera phone. Or pictures of the base/foot/basketball game. If I really cared I'd be there too. ANd don't take flash pictures of you and all your drunk friends when you are in a dark bar - I am guaranteed to be looking straight at the flash when it goes off, and if I've been drinking I can't promise I won't actually slap you. Of course, that last part is only valid five years ago when I still went out to bars.
