Thanks Peter. I've signed it.

A link to this petition should be posted in as many public forums as
possible.

OK - been there and signed it. 14 sigs so far - now all that needs to
be done is widespread publicity. Some magazine reviewers need to
publicize the problem, the antagonism to it, and the petition.

I might drop a line to a couple of the Australia magazines...

The petition should be to stop the spread of Deadly Venereal Disease
in America and in the rest of the world. We must all work together to
ban DVD now !!!

Did anyone see this signature?




you f*ckers need to give this sh*t a rest. i mean its only a few
godd*mn ads for thier stupid *ss movies. does it just tear you up so
much inside when you see those ads that you just have to get on your
high horse and go back to the store and ge a refund bcause you didnt
"pay to see ads"? just fast forward through the d*mn things you
f*cking fags! its not the end of the godd*mn world! i mean you
assh*les on your godd*mn high horse "im not going to own a movie i
like because the studio put ads before the movie and im too stuck up
and prissy to simply fast forward through them and it only takes a few
mere seconds to do so" go to hell all of ya!




This guy obviously is some kind of petition-spoiling nut. If you're
going to sign it, at least READ what the petition owner has to say.

But that's the whole point, faglet - you CAN'T fast-forward - the damn
controls are completely locked out. The first time is annoying, the
second time is BLOODY annoying, and then having the trailers forced on
you EVERY time you wanna watched the damned film is extremely irritating
and gets right up my nose.

Oops - just realized you were quoting somebody else's words there - so -
mine are not directed at you ;)

You can get 100000 but it will mean nothing. Those online petitions are
valueless.
