Good time to switch to DVDs, especially if you're going to be renting.
I keep saying that there must be something in the water in Florida, besides sharks!
Alls I ever get on my Disney tapes is crappy cartoons.. :(
Apparently Mama Satcher hasn't seen what really goes on out there on the range...

One word. Trainspotting
Meanwhile across town... somebody is mad that they got the wrong version of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"!
"Oh, look, girls ! That's not Mr. Ed, that's Ron Jeremy !"
About like buying used magazines from a teenager and assuming he had a habit of reading while eating pancakes and syrup.
"No, I wanted Snow White and the SEVEN Dwarves, not the SEMEN dwarves!"
I know someone who bought a commercial-brand VHS title from a completely mainstream retailer.... the tape inside was a high school football game.
It was factory-sealed, with all the proper labels, stickers, and tags on it. Strange.
God, what a moron. All it takes is a piece of scotch tape over the hole.
I kinda assume this a variation on
Wendy's finger-chile.
Signs of the times: libraries with more obsolete VHS tapes than books, which are often sold as "excess" so even more video features can be added to the inventory.
What with Blockbuster, Hollywood Video and now Netflix where you can keep your DVD as long as you want -- even past the library's due date -- why are libraries even in the business of loaning out commercial videos? Just keeping tabs on them would be a major undertaking; reviewing those turned in for unauthorized dubbing of porn over a Disney cartoon is next to impossible.
A public library's primary mission should be (although it seldom is these days) preserving those works of literature, representative of the country's arts and culture which are likely to be unavailable to future generations. Books go out of print and get eaten by acid; videos on DVD last forever.
Put the emphasis on books, though, and watch the library's budget shrink as patrons check out fewer items.
BTW, for a librarian, Sol Hirsch seems lacking in both verbal and technical skills. "Sometimes there is with VHS"? What's that supposed to mean?
Floriduh again....what a shock.
And they will recognize him how? Will he be the one wearing the shirt which says, "dubber"?
DUH! Tape over the pits in the back and you can record over any VHS.
Those are the write-protect mechanism and have tabs on the blank tapes you buy which can be broken off to prevent inadvertently recording over something you want to keep.
The question is, who had the tape last?
