Luckily.....

Called "the world's greatest tech humour site" by The Register, BBspot creates entertainment for the geekier side of the world. BBspot produces a variety of features like fake news stories satirizing the tech and political worlds, the BBspot Mailbag which pokes fun at the Believers (people who believe our fake news) and much more

Sad thing is, even if the story is fake, it doesn't seem like something out of the ordinary...

You missed part where you were quoting a satire as fact?

Jesus man check your sources ...

For those who came late to the thread and have been left confused the original post contained a satire piece about how they wanted to label homes with big screen TV's and viewing areas set up as private theaters, and charge them large fee's as well forcing them to report when and which movies would be shown....

Check your sources kids, check your sources.

Snopes had nothing on it as I checked when it came up. Of course, the only resource was a blog which made it pretty worthless other than discussion.
