Lars Von Trier Hates It When You Talk During Films

Don't you hate it when people in tuxedos try to tell you about their business investments while you're trying to watch a movie and wear a tuxedo? Tell me about it! Director Lars von Trier hates it too, and made this short, Occupations, to discourage the activity. More specifically, it discourages talking in theaters by showing a businessman blatantly hitting on a drunk-to-the-point-of-near-vomiting von Trier. Also, I'm fairly certain it violates Dogme 95 rule #6 (The film must not contain superficial action (murders, weapons, etc. must not occur)):

I don't necessarily mean this as a criticism of Lars von Trier, but that was probably the easiest-to-watch thing he's ever made.
