Honor System
NBC again references Ultimate Frisbee.
On Thursday's 10/6 episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jack Black, Owen Wilson & Steve Martin discussed "birding". Around 4:09 mark...
JAY: Birders work on the honor system. Is that a realistic concept?
OWEN: I think so...how many things work on the honor system?
JACK BLACK: Ultimate Frisbee...Ultimate Frisbee, you know. They don't have referees. It's self-regulated; that's it - birding & Ultimate Frisbee.

Hey you tourists, a starfish is not a Frisbee [roanokeTimes]
According to an Associated Press report, tourism officials on the Caribbean island of Grenada are concerned about dog owners taking starfish out of the ocean and “throwing them like flying discs for their dogs to catch.”
Russ Fielden, president of the local hotel and tourism association, said officials have received several reports of the practice and are launching an education campaign to put an end to the flying of fish.
Fielden said hurling a starfish is “cruel and should be strongly discouraged” (not to mention more than a little weird and gross.)
He said the sea creatures are being left to die on the island’s popular Grand Anse beach and also are creating a foul smell.
So, remember on your next Caribbean vacation with your pooch, pack his Frisbee® and leave the starfish in the ocean. You will be glad you did.
