Sure did! Doubt there was any consequences besides having to leave though. Maybe a fine.

Tangentially related:

An East Berliner pulled this stunt at the border, with a rental car.

The car was returned and months later a different guy repeated the feat in the same car.

I watched a kebab shop worker drag a guy out onto the street by the scruff of his collar for not putting out his cig.

They don't realize that around where i live it's a $700 fine for the smoker but also a $7500 fine for the store owner, so the shops don't gently caress around.

From the foetid bowels of AusPol, comes news to warm the coldest of hearts - Evil Uncle Rupe might just be on the verge of losing control of Fox.


Lid posted:

The shockwaves would have been felt around the world over the weekend when billionaire investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal was among a clutch of Saudi princes and ministers arrested in the kingdom.

And the real impact of the arrests could hit a very well-known former Aussie next week.

Prince Alwaleed has stakes in many prominent global companies, but none are more important than his crucial stash of voting stock at Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox. 

The saga took another twist overnight, with CNBC reporting that 21st Century Fox had held talks over selling most of the company to Disney. According to sources, the two parties spoke in recent weeks but talks are now dead.

Prince Alwaleed's voting stake has made the Murdoch family's position at both News Corp, and its more lucrative spin-off, 21st Century Fox, impregnable.

The Murdoch family's control of the company is not quite assured with its 38 per cent stash of voting stock, which dwarfs its economic interest of only 14 per cent.

But add in the Prince's stake and the family could weather severe storms such as the UK phone hacking scandal without having to make too many concessions to other investors.

But then things changed for News Corp.

Three years ago the Murdochs came within a few million votes – a wafer thin margin by corporate standards – of their fellow shareholders voting to unwind its dual class share structure, which allows the Murdochs to control the company via their tight grip on the voting stock.

A massive 47.4 per cent of votes cast supported a proposal to eliminate the company's dual-class share structure, which, had it passed, would have unlocked the Murdochs' iron grip on the company.

How did this happen with the Prince by Rupert's side?

It later emerged that the Prince had sold almost all of his News Corp shares, making Murdoch vulnerable to other investors for the first time.

Now it just happens that 21st Century Fox is holding its annual shareholder meeting next Thursday, and one of the items on the agenda is a vote to unwind the dual class share structure.

As of December 31, 2015, Prince Alwaleed's group owned 5 per cent of 21st Century Fox.

If the Prince no longer controls this stake, or has not voted on it yet, the voting result could be cataclysmic for Rupert.

Selling off 21st Century Fox to Disney means a lot of Marvel properties come into play.

And that could mean Fox News could be taking a dirt nap as well, cutting off a reliable source of funding for a lot of unemployable talking heads. Megyn Kelly kinda schadenfreude.

I'm normally as against being glued to your phone as the next person, but the NBA might be an exception. The league is lightyears ahead of the other American professional sports at integrating their product with mobile internet culture. For some of my savvier friends, the phones never go away at live games, because they're Instagramming photos, texting their friends, looking up stats, and getting tweeted at by players, journalists, and the league itself at a dizzying rate. It's half participatory performance, half augmented reality, and it's helping to explode the NBA's popularity.

edit: not saying the two old white broads in $500 seats are members of the NBA underground, just defending the idea of phones at games in general.
