didnt know where to put this, so im just going to post it here.
I had an hour to kill in between finals so i decided to look at the DVDs at the Target across the street. There was this couple returning a DVD player because it played movies "with those stupid black bars on the tops and bottom of the screen." They were saying how the sound is better than VHS, but not the picture and they wanted to return their DVDs for the VHS versions. They said if they had fullscren DVDs they would keep their player. So the Target guy goes off and starts looking at all the DVDs (I could just tell he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the box--this was amusing so i stayed and watched-- and he comes back with like 5 DVDs and says they say "dual layered Disc on the back so that means you have your choice" I wish i could see their faces when they get home with 5 more DVDs that they won't want to watch because theyre still all gonna have black bars.
I really should have said something, but for some reason I didn't.
