Bigger fines for enzone celebrations

NFL owners voted for and passed a new rule banning celebrations in which a player is on the ground, a player is using props, or a celebration lasts longer than 30 seconds. This came to light from last years endzone celebrations by Chad Johnson and Steve Smith. In a vote of 29- 3 NFL owners passed this excessive celebration rule which is a 15 yard penalty on the ensuing kickoff and a hefty fine for the player who celebrates. Spikes, dunks, Lambeau Leaps, spins, dances and simple celebrations will be allowed. But penalties will be given for any celebration other than that. My question is do u feel that there should even be a penalty for excessive celebrations and if you do think there should be one where do you draw the line on what is excessive and what is not.
