#1 Kids smoke pot too. Going to cover that? Gee, where are all the commerical ads for that product to 'induce' teens to smoke it?

I've never smoked. Don't like smokers personally, but this is the start point of the Nannyists who daily intrude, first by admonition and then by regulation, and then by law to rule your everyday life. Once again, its about power that in the end gets abused.

#2 Amen.
I'm not a smoker either, but put more shit on my DVD that I can't fast forward by, I'm gonna kill someone.

#3 I wind up ripping the contents of any DVD's I buy, then eliminating the intro stuff and burning another DVD, just to eliminate all the crap.

Another thing: Hey DVD manufacturers, who says it's OK to have an Advertisement for ANYTHING on my DVD? You are already generating revenue by selling me the movie. Same thing with Ads at the movie theater. Whoever thought this was a good idea should get his ass whipped.

#4 What, do the studios manufacture smokes now? Sell 'em? Anything? No?

So why should they carry your propaganda, bozo?
