Can see what you are trying to do, but doesn't quite work for me - possibly needs to be more sensationalist / less obvious ?

what would you recommend, I made it less subtle as possible so it would be obvious so it might stay relatively current. Also thanks for the feedback it's really appreciated.

Yeah, there's a good setup here, but it isn't executed right. I would probably just leave it as a headline with no article- "Outrage As Man's Ringing Phone Ruins Batman Premiere - "He Deserves To Be Shot"".

I don't think this is a good area to explore frivolously. If you're going to satirise a gun massacre, gun culture or the media's attitude to the incident are areas that could work. Just saying 'a phone is more annoying than being shot dead' is targeting the wrong subject.
