Speaking of somewhat related things:

I went to the movies on Friday to see W&G.
(Great movie, btw, I recommend it).

Anyway, hanging around the lobby waiting for the seating, I see a poster warning me that I'm not allowed to videotape the movie (fair enough) and telling me that it's a felony.

So, I'm thinking to myself, a felony? C'mon now.

But, I look it up today, and sure enough, having solved all the other problems, Congress has decreed if you get caught videotaping a movie, you can get up to 3 years in "Federal-pound-me-in-the-ass prison".
