If only we could get them to put a DUmmy liberal warning on the label.

It would be funny to watch the reaction of the busybody liberal do-gooders if you suggested a similar warning for movies that depict gay sex.

Smoking Warnings Needed On DVDs, Lawyers Say

----I know every time I pop a movie in a DVD player, I get the urge to light up. (just kiddin)

[L98Fiero]

However, CDs and video games have no effect on behavior. Just DVDs.

[benjamin032]

Where are the Anit-stupid behavior warnings, anti-herion, anti-coke, anti-premarital sex, anti-getting shot in the chest with a howitzer, warnings? How stupid, obtuse, and inane can someone be?

ha ha ha

[Marie Antoinette]

DVDs smoke? Who knew??

[Kokojmudd]

Oh boy. Maybe they will have Woooopie do the warning like she did on the new Looney Toons DVD set.

[kromike]

It's bad enough now that I have to endure the torture of commercials, promos, and other crap.

Now the nanny-lawyers want to tell me to stop smoking?

That might be useful, except for the fact that I DON'T SMOKE...

It won't be surprising that piracy tools that can scrape this pointless crap suddenly become more popular as consumers become sick of being nannied-to-death. Hey Hollywood, I bought your stupid product for the movie, not for the preliminary garbage. You want to put that stuff on DVDs? Put it at the friggin' end, where no one will watch it!

Dumba$$es...

[GSWarrior]

Instead of labeling DVDs, I suggest they slap an anti-smoking label on all new DVD players.

[Fiddlstix]

----I know every time I pop a movie in a DVD player, I get the urge to light up........

You too, huh? I'm so glad to know there are others out there.
(I thought I was the only one)
Hell, I'm now up to a "pack per DVD"......
(This Madness must be stopped!)

LOL

[Gabz]

Another Nanny State BS alert.

Like the Attorney's General of the numerous state don't have anything better to do??????//


My bets are on the idiot Sptizter in NY for this crappola...........probably got a great big campaign donantion from Glantz and his nanny group that want all movies with ANY smoking in them to be rated "R"

**SIGH**

Talk about people being STUCK ON STUPID.

"Warning ... If your DVD is smoking the movie is probably not suitable for viewing by children."

[A Jovial Cad]

What a novel idea! How 'bout this:

WARNING! This dangerous work contains graphic accounts of violence, youthful defiance of familial authority, and teenage suicide! Proceed to read at your own risk! Think of the children!

Romeo & Juliet, by Mr. William Shakespeare, now continues...

/Sarcasm

"We're urging (studios) to do more," said Maryland Attorney General J. Joseph Curran Jr., author of the letter.

OK - I goofed - wrong state AG - same mindset though.

[SheLion]

Sure. For the KIDS! And guess what the KIDS are into ?!

[laker_dad]

I tried smoking a DVD once, it was REAL hard rolling it...

[6SJ7]

LOL! Excellent cartoon. Libs definitely have their priorities skewed.

[massgopguy]

Now why would anyone need to put a warning label on a fine movie like the 1999 flick "200 Cigarettes"?

[KarlInOhio]

Can't we just digitally change the cigarette to a carrot?
