A friend sent me this link and I thought it was amusing enough to share here. The Onion obviously made a few references for advanced DVD collectors to get.

Non-Widescreen Version Of DVD Received As Hanukkah Gift

LOL..... sad but true !

That was hilarious! Thanks for posting!

Same thing happened to me. My parents and brother got me full-screen last year. I liked the gifts but went to exchange them before I opened them. I explained to them that any future DVD purchases are to be widescreen and they take no offense. I also have to say when I want a movie I want it widescreen or they forget.

hehehehe .... that was a good read. A worst nightmare come true for most of us. Thanks for sharing the link.

That is pretty funny. I can feel the guy's pain. My dad did the same thing to me. I wanted Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in widescreen. I kept telling him that, I talked to him on the phone and he said he was going to pick it up. Again I stressed widescreen. I am excited when he hands me the bag and I pull it out and its full screen. I was so mad. But, of course, I never said anything. I watched it. But he knows now I am a widescreen girl. Plus no one in my family dares buy me dvd's because they know that they might get it wrong I will be upset. So they let me get them on my own. Thankfully.

hahaha... I dont think everyone here picked up on the fact that this article is mocking us, the dvd collector's. Which makes it all the more hillarious.

Well, the article's mocking them and us. Mostly us, but, it's funny because it's true.

hahaha!!! awesome read! thanks for the link!! i've gotta send this to some of my friends!!!
