tattle-tail nation

from cincinnati enquirer: Fans with cell phones at Paul Brown Stadium will be able to report obnoxious drunks, brawlers or foul-mouthed boors by calling 513-381-JERK (5375). Security can then use any of 38 video cameras around the stadium to zoom in on home-game troublemakers and dispatch police or guards there...

Although the jerk line is unlikely to root out every inconsiderate boor, it's worth a try, and could have a deterrent effect, perhaps even beyond football...

It's a smart business decision to keep well-behaved fans -- the overwhelming majority -- satisfied they've gotten their money's worth.
