Reminds me of a time I was at the Griffith Observatory in L.A., where 
they have this huge tesla coil behind glass in a darkened room.
During the demo, while it was shooting out brilliant blue sparks,
I bet a dozen people pulled out their flash cameras and started
shooting.  When my friends and I started to crack up, these same 
people looked at us like WE were crazy!  ("What's so funny about
sparks?")

And in the planetarium a lot of people are disappointed by the signs
that inform them that flash cameras are not allowed.  But every time 
I've been there, some yo-yo tries it.  I always wonder if these people 
ever figure out why their pictures are "over-exposed", and if they
think disrupting the show for the entire audience for it was worth it.
