Abhishek M R sued the PVR Cinemas, BookMyShow and INOX for showing long ads of about 25 minutes before the movie began, which wasted his time.
A consumer court now has ordered PVR to mention the exact time of the movie in the tickets and not the time when the commercials ads begin. According to the complainant, the long ads delayed the movie time and due to which he could not get back to work.
The court said that “time is money” and no one has the right to benefit from someone else’s time and money.
The man requested damages for “causing mental agony,” punitive damages for unfair business practices, and court costs. The court awarded him $230 in damages and $92 for legal costs. The article does not say what kind of job allows enough time for a mid-day movie break (if the movie runs on time).
There are theaters (Regal, I’m talking about you!) that I will not go to for this reason.

ACE: In their most shocking propaganda display to date, Hamas terrorists paraded the coffins of two dead children, their mother, and an 83-year-old man through the streets of Gaza before throngs of cheering Palestinians.
The macabre scene unfolded on Thursday morning as Hamas returned the bodies of four Israeli captives who were held for more than 500 days: Shiri Bibas, 32; her two children, 4-year-old Ariel and 9-month-old Kfir; and 83-year-old Oded Lifshitz. The caskets bore smiling pictures of those killed alongside messages listing their “date of arrest” as Oct. 7, 2023.
Hamas displayed the caskets on a makeshift stage in front of an anti-Semitic sign depicting Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a bloodthirsty vampire snarling above a photo of the murdered captives. The sign included the caption, “The War Criminal Netanyahu & His Nazi Army Killed Them with Missiles from Zionist Warplanes.” There is no evidence to date that supports the claim.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) dispatched one of its staffers to sit with a uniformed Hamas terrorist at a camouflage table and sign “paperwork.” The committee then transported the bodies through the Gaza Strip as cheering crowds of onlookers celebrated, waving Palestinian flags and shouting “victory” in Arabic. Other videos show masked Hamas gunmen casually chatting with excited Gazans out on the streets.
When the coffins reached Israeli soil, they were scanned for bombs and booby traps and then opened for examination to confirm the identities of those inside. Hamas locked the caskets shut but did not provide keys to Israel, forcing authorities to smash the locks open.
The ICRC’s role in the barbaric display is likely to bring increased scrutiny toward the organization, which failed to fulfill its mandate to visit the hostages and assess their health, as the group routinely does during traditional conflicts. It has since participated in Hamas’s propagandistic hostage release displays, sending officials to appear on stage with Hamas terrorists, shake hands, and sign papers in similar scenes to the one that played out on Thursday.
Some Republicans on Capitol Hill have responded to those displays by threatening to cut funding for the ICRC and strip protections that protect the organization from terror-related lawsuits, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

BREAKING: Israel’s Channel 14 has reported that after seeing the dead baby parade from Gaza, President Trump said to his advisors:
“I want to see Gaza wiped out; I don’t want to see even one building standing.”
On the Social Security database investigation by DOGE. Some of the ages being reported can be explained by wives or dependents of deceased being granted their benefits.
I have some experience of that in my own family. My aunt was a dependent of our family for her entire life. Having a brain injury at birth, she had to be cared for, all her life. My father took her in shortly after he and my mother got married, and when they passed she lived with us until she died.
Monthly she received SS benefits, paid out under her fathers SSN. She never had a SSN issued of her own. She never went to high school or worked a regular job.
She was the dependent child of a military veteran who died from service related causes. Her father, a WWI and WWII Navy veteran, was born in the 1880’s.
So from the date of her fathers birth to the date of her own death was 134 years. Same SSN.
I bring this up because as the investigation continues and the many truly fraudulent cases try to take cover behind the few special cases like hers; it’s not hard to tell the difference between them. Cases like my aunt were rare and come from a time when children were not issued SSN at birth. To create that 134 year old SSN, needed a fifty year old father, his youngest child; who lived to the age of eighty.
Bruh, if I wanted to rummage through random personal shit, I could have done that at PAYPAL. Hello??? Having tens of millions of people marked in Social Security as “ALIVE” when they are definitely dead is a HUGE problem. Obviously. Some of these people would have been alive before America existed as a country. Think about that for a second …
Legal Insurrection has pointed out that no president has ever had a Tech Team of such amazing talent and energy.
So far, the discoveries the DOGE team has made are compelling, chilling, and angering. I would like to focus on just one of their findings.
Legal Insurrection readers will recall my post on Brent Efron, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) special advisor implementing Biden’s climate agenda, making many controversial statements during an undercover video about the agency’s actions in anticipation of a potential Trump administration.
Efron reportedly told Project Veritas that the EPA was rapidly distributing billions of dollars in grants to nonprofits as an “insurance policy” against Trump winning the election. He described the situation as “throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” referring to the urgency with which the agency allocates funds.
Thanks to DOGE, some of the gold bars have surfaced.
And another set of bars was being handled by Citibank:
But it appears Biden’s EPA stashed $20 billion in other green slush funds with @Citibank before leaving office to keep it from being rescinded. This is outright money laundering.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man.
Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded -- here and there, now and then -- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck." -- Robert A. Heinlein
