Those laser pointers, when used incorrectly, such as pointing them at people, and using them in movie theaters, represents the epitome of everything that is stupid in this society, and represents all of the stupid morons out there.
I ABHOR IT.

A safer assumption would be that he, much like George, has been the victim of laser pointer abuse. It's often looked upon as a victimless crime, but that's just simply not true. I think it's time the media began focusing on this and exposing it for what it is.
I wonder how many people will start bringing them to the movies now that they've seen this episode. I hope that not too many people will as it would be terribly distracting. Although in a really bad movie it would be somewhat entertaining. I suspect that the blimp was a really bad movie.
You're only saying that because Larry David didn't write the episode. If he had you'd probably have rushed out and bought your pointer already.

Geez, what's wrong with wanting to have fun?
Aside from being really freaking annoying to the people who paid good money to see a movie, not your childish antics with a laser pen? I've had that crap happen at several movies that I've been to recently, and now I can just see all the new morons deciding that it's the in-thing to do.

When I saw that laser pointer, I sighed with relief. Everywhere I went, be it a hotel, a mall, the theatre at school - there was the little red dot! But what where was it coming from? I thought I was going mad! Well, looks like it'll finally be MY turn...
<pause for sadistic laughter>
*Ahem*
Laser pointers also kick ass in movie theatres!!! When it gets dark you can make designs on the ceiling and on the walls... It's awesome!!
Laser Pointers are a blast. They drive people crazy.... especially people like George Castanza. I got one from www.buyers-best.com. I drive my cat crazy... she runs up the walls, etc. Also great for bugging people at the mall....

I went to a Barenaked Ladies concert in december, and someone had a red laser pointer on one of the lead singers.. they stopped and gave the guy a chance to shine it on his crotch and then made a huge improv song about it to the point where they were falling over laughing. It was great. :)
