Disney bars Nintendo DS from critics' screening of Pirates 3

Consumerist's Meghann Marco sez, "This is about my good friend Phil Villarreal, film critic for the Arizona Daily Star. His DS was banned from the film critic's screening of Pirates of the Caribbean... for piracy concerns. Never mind that the DS doesn't have a camera."
Weirdly, they did allow non-camera-equipped cell phones in - which I discovered during my lengthy argument with the security guy - meaning I could have brought my DS if I said it was a cell phone. Unfortunately this didn't occur to me until I was hunched over my Subaru's passenger window, waving goodbye to my little patience-maker as I abandoned it to the 300 degree heat of my car interior. (I have no games on my cell phone because I'm a snob who can't stand dumbed-down mobile games).
Link (Thanks, Meghann!)
