If it would have been Betamax he would have been killed by Sony’s ninjas long ago.

I know of at least 18 video rental places in our town when we moved here in 2002. There is exactly one of them still open.

I am not counting the 17 or so Red Box kiosks scattered about town.

At least flogging.

I'm not taking any chances. I have a DVD rewinder.

Wow, still renting VHS in 2002.

DVD players had been around for several years and were cheap as dirt by then.

I still have someone’s 8 track of Journey’s first album.

Is that the one with the green background and the band members floating around on the cover? An 8-track of that might be worth something on eBay.

I see a golden opportunity for Tom Green to get back on the main stage...

Arrested for not returning a VHS tape rented in 2002 -- 14 years ago? Are people that crazy in North Carolina.

My questions are: Who is making the complaint?
Who is accusing the person arrested?
This guy is going to walk.
The entire arrest is ridiculous.

I guess he decided to keep the movie. You know, “I’m not giving you the satisfaction.”

No I guess I have the Infinity 8 track instead. Got some good songs on it though.

The chapter 11 judge has been waiting for this to be turned in so he can finally close out the case.
