I hear people talking about going back to VHS. You could also try to go out and read a book :D We should all go back to the Video2000 system.

Well Zuvi old buddy, this may come as a shock, but people watch movies and read too!

And by reading, you don't mean the subtitles right? :D

Ooh, you got me on that one! Well, if you're watching Hero and the like, I guess you'd have to.
I'm a little lacking for reading material right now. My wife bought me one of the Earth, Final Conflict books. I don't watch it, but the book is not too bad.

At least most books don't have commercials between the chapters. Yet.

Pssst! Don't give them any ideas!
This new commercial shi* is really bugging me. Especially with the fact that only the average DVD watcher will have to endure the commercials, anyone just a tad bit more savvy will just find a way to skip it, as it really isn't hard at all. Stupid buggers..

Ok I guess I'm the Bozo now! PM your secret if you don't want to say!

Hey, no prob, I watch all my anime subbed, so I don't mind asian-spoken movies.

And as for reading: I can't even get myself to reading fantasy novels anymore. All I read are law-books and law-reports. I still have the last four Shannara books in plastic :eek:

On some DVD players for example, fooling around with picture settings causes it to skip to the next scene. Also, some DVD players have near-computer DVD-ROM technology, allowing you to simply skip it.

Sooo many good quotes, I had to pick them all!

Amen, brother, to THAT!!!

LOL!

It sure is an arguement for me to pirate movies!!! Arrrrr!!!

LOL! The thing is, when you see a vast industry built upon advertisement go under (talking the former Telephone soliciting industry, here in the US); you gotta find SOMETHING for these annoying people to do! I mean, you can't have them actually go get a REAL job, now can you?

To me the people who do advertising are acceptable; as they do a necessary function of letting people know about the product/services that people need. Now that said, the people who FORCE ads down your throat should be taken to someplace where a different and new (much better than the original) version of "survivor" TV show goes on. These people have to endure living on an island littered with landmines, filled with all kinds of natural life threatening dangers, and if they get voted off; they get shot dead.

the winner then might get an advertising job (albiet a real one).

PS I don't think there are any Advertising execs here at I-works, becuz they wouldn't stand for a No-Ad environment; but if there are, I apologize if I ticked you off. But for the sake of arguement, I don't go around forcing MY opinion on others... except here.
