Brown gave them to charity!

That is freakin' hilarious.

I believe that is a packaged set- I’ll start looking at DDDVD for it. I expect that someone will have “My Parents visited the President and all I got was this crappy toy helicopter” t-shirt for sale on CafePress before long...

You just know this DVD set was just an unopened gift from some friend or something that got regifted.

And all of the “Ernest Goes to Hollywood” et al movies.

Gone With the Wind and The General? Obama must be a Kluxer.

I’m surprised that Lord Obama didn’t give Brown the BET Collection of Classic Blaxploitation Movies, which includes such gems as Avenging Disco Godfather, Black Belt Jones, Black Caesar, Black Shampoo, Blacula, Money Hustle, Car Wash, Detroit 9000, and I’m Gonna Git You Sucka.
