Why not just make it a universal standard for cell phones to automatically turn to vibrate mode (or otherwise turn off the sound ringer) when a certain signal is broadcast (i.e. in movie theaters)?
Walk into a movie theater, restaurant, etc., and your cell phone automatically turns to vibrate mode. You can still receive your message, and the rest of us don't have our movies/meals interupted with some annoying ring-tone that you think is cute.
btw, remember those obnoxious car horns that would play all sorts of different songs instead of just beeping? Especially popularized for the rednecks by Dukes of Hazard... How is it that those horns never became popular (thankfully), yet I constantly hear those same tunes being played by cell phones??
