I'm sick of those "Made in Mexico" discs- I've gotten a few that were defective, and of course that factory was largely responsible for making DVD-18s synonymous with defective! (They're great when they work, but this factory can't make them right!) The savings the studios got out of these weren't passed on to the consumers, and now I learn that some Americans lost their jobs over them too??? I'm just glad many are marked as made in Mexico on the outside, so I can think twice about buying them!

Are you serious? Why stop there? Most of today's major American companies have gone across the border and overseas in some form or fashion so they can save on labor expenses. Almost all toys are made in other countries. Most of our electronics is made in other countries, althogh they might be put together here. Hell, I bet the American computer you are typing on wasn't entirely made here (if it's a Dell, HP, or Mac). Just about every car that is Made in America is put together with parts made in other countries. I know it sucks that Americans lose jobs all the time when a factory closes only to reopen in another country, or a corporation decides to outsource part of their company to increase profits. I wish we lived in a society where this didn't happen, but it is what it is. What about dvds made in other countries? Their okay to buy because no American lost their job? How can you be so sure that they didn't. Man, I can understand if you want to think twice about buying a dvd because of the possible quality of it, but to say you'll think twice about it because a factory was closed down is a bit much. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but face it, our corporations love to exploit the grossly underpaid, overworked countries of the world just so we can have our merchandise at a great price, and they can make the profits they want.
