New age limit raises brows

Voldemort

You have to be 16 to get a license, 18 to buy cigs and risque films and 21 to purchase alcoholic beverages. In January 2009, concert venues in the San Diego area will begin to enforce a new age restriction on its music-loving residents.

Due to countless bar fights and annoying giggles, young women under the age of 27 and six months, and young men who laugh like them, will no longer be allowed inside the concert venues to see certain bands that tend to attract such fans.

The thinking behind this new law is a bit sexist but also a tad understandable, but not really. Owners of the venues believe that by the age of 27 and a half, young women are better at handling the flirtatious urges and jealous rage that accompany their consumption of alcohol. The flirtatious urges bring about the annoying giggles and the jealous rage brings about bar fights. Thus their decision to eliminate the possiblity of such actions occurring.

While many young San Diego women will be discouraged, many more will be grateful for this new law. Not only will they get more attention from the men usually distracted by the annoying drunk women, but they will be able to get closer to the stage because those same drunk under 27 and a half-year-olds will no longer be drunkenly pushing their way to the front.

Older men, on the other hand, are not exactly pleased with this new law. They like the attention they get from the flirty young women, and appreciate it when fights are started in their honor.

Young men surprisingly don’t mind the new law. “”Older women are way more intriguing to me,”” said one San Diego concert-goer.

Once the law goes into effect, bands that have sounds similar to Panic at the Disco and She Wants Revenge will have much smaller audiences, but as a result the setting will be more intimate and they can connect with their older fans that are closer to their own respective ages anyway.

For the many female college students that will be affected by this law, it should be known that Los Angeles did not agree with the proposition. L.A. venues are highly in favor of young women attending shows.
