Misleading title on main page.

I know there has been in the past a crack-down on those with misleading thread titles that were just worded to get folks to check out a thread. But now it looks like those running DVDTalk are doing this themselves!

I clicked on the link for the supposed "Time Machine Giveaway" found on the top of each page in the Featured Articles section ( http://www.dvdtalk.com/archives/000414.html ) and was disappointed to find that it wasn't so that I could win a device that could warp the space-time continuum. Instead it was just for a DVD.

I think that this sort of blatant misuse of titles should not go unpunished!

It was the harrier wasn't it.
Must have been that it was so ridiculous that I didn't pay all that much attention other than what he was trying to get.....a government war craft!!!!!!!

I knew he was kidding,but ya never know!!!

Related: I was really interested in how DVD Talk conducted an interview with a dragonfly... but it turns out that title was misleading as well.
