I am trying to have my coffee and get my day started, watching the Today Show like I do every other day... and check THIS shit out........

They are NOW trying to make it against the law to fast forward over the ads on DVD Movies you buy in the stores!!!! So watch it, if this goes thru and you don't watch those damn commercials, you might be going to jail!!

So I pay $20 for a movie now, or more, and I HAVE to sit thru the commercials or I'll be sitting in jail? CHRIST!!! And people wonder why everyone in this country is so uptight and stress ridden.....

Sorry, this one just caught me wrong. What the hell else are they going to do?

Monique Niccole · 11-18-2004, 06:34 AM

How are they going to know if you fast forward? It's like ripping the tags off your pillows...there's no pillow police to come and get you.

Sheri Santiago · 11-18-2004, 06:37 AM

Unfortunately this is the way it's going.

Once DVDs are mostly phased out (it won't be long) and we're all ordering our movies broadband, we'll be sitting through even more commercials before we actually get around to watching what we paid for.

Well how in the hell would I know? I just heard this and about died when I did. I have no idea how they will inforce it, or anything, just what they said.

As many hands as they have in our homes now, there is no telling... they probably have recording devices in them and will record our every move.. LMAO

No shit!! Sucks when ya pay for shit and have to sit thru their ads.... if they were free, ok, I'd be fine with that..... but I don't wanna pay to watch someone's ads.

I think I am in the wrong racket and I am going to go get into theirs. LOL

sherie · 11-18-2004, 06:50 AM

They can just make them static so that you can't fast forward. Illegal tho? LMFAO

Tam, you know what we're VERY close to?

Pay per view for many more things. I estimate that in 5 years, the Superbowl, World Series, NBA Finals, NHL Finals... they will all be on pay-per-view only.

Soon the only stuff free on TV will be ads, re-runs of old shows, and infomercials.

Yeah that's what they are saying..... but if you "get by" those ads and don't watch them, this is illegal. lol

Chris, lord, don't I know it. I'd say I wanted to move, but my luck, they'd just put their hands on me there too....good grief.

And the next thing they will ban is pop up windows on entry and ext. I paid for my computer and connection so why do I need to get advertised at.

Yes, and in YOUR scenario, I paid for my TV so I shouldn't ever have to pay for anything I watch on it..... HAHAHAHAHAH NOT the same thing baby.

If I pay for a membership or something on a site online and get pops then I am pissed, but until I pay for it, it's part of the deal and I know it.

BUT I paid for the movie I bought and shouldn't be forced to watch their stupid ads...

Cassie, MY point exactly, with all the starving and abused kids and everything else that is really bad in this world, they are mad because I don't watch ads on a damn DVD. I mean, god forbid we put drug lords behind bars, or we feed those hungry kids and make sure they have health care.... le'ts throw people in jail, or TRY to, that don't watch our commercials. LOL

Well they need to pay for those high priced athelets some how ;))

Won't it be a slap in the face when people finally decide to say fuck it to Corporate America? Just pertaining to paying for more shit on TV. They are doing it already with hockey etc ppv packs and after this year I can see then doing more and more games. Fuck it, I say! LOL

Evil1 · 11-18-2004, 07:42 AM

I still dont understand how the TV networks get away with charing companys for commercials then turning around and charging viewers for cable to watch those commercials.. If i have to pay $50/mo. I dont want to pay for commercials.. If I throw an antenna on my roof and get ABC/CBS/NBC for free.. then fuckit, commercials are the price I pay..

and what those stupid channel packages.. I dont want the golf channel. the god channel. the home shopping network.. why the fuck should I have to pay for them? Thats like going to the store for milk and being told you have to buy a fucking tomato if you want to walk out the door with your gallon of milk.

iwantchixx · 11-18-2004, 07:48 AM

some DVD's are already made so you can't skip the commercials. this is getting rediculus. I rent movies to watch movies, not car and pepsi ads.

Cassie · 11-18-2004, 07:48 AM

we have ourselves to blame if you really think about it.

we are an entertainment based society. companies know we will watch tv, buy dvd's, etc... and they will continue to stick it to us.

i am as guilty as everyone else. i just ordered my DVR box from comcast 10 mins ago which upped my bill 10.00 more a month.

The cable company has to charge us for the actual cable and service. Luckily with digital cable in my area now we get to pick specific channels. but you pay more in the long run though so it's not much better. We pay $2.50 per channel now.

it's all a rip off

Quite frankly, I was under the impression that when you bought DVD's there was not to be any of that shit- Rentals, perhaps I could tolerate it, but owning them is a different story. When I first starting buying them there were no commercials and now they are full of them.

Remember back in the day when you went to theatre's to see movies? They only showed trailors, now you have to sit through 15 extra mins., of commercials for AMEX and the like. I refuse to go now.

I'd love to pay $2.50/channel.. fuck theres only 4 channels I'll watch anyway plus my kid loves animal planet for some reason. that'd save me an assload.

Boy, I couldn't do that... it would cost me a bloody fortune. We have a ton of channels and 5 people in my house with all different ideas of what is good to watch on TV. Of all my channels, we probably watch about half of them at LEAST, if not a lot more. So that would cost me a fortune.

I did, however just have my cable shut off and was paying nearly $200 a mont, and now I pay only $94 a month. BUT the majority of that bill is the number of boxes I have to have. I have 3 kids, each with a box, my living room and my bedroom..... so that is where most of my satellite bill is.

I don't mind the commercials on TV at all, I expect that. But when I pay for a damn movie, shove those commercials up someone's ass........ NOT mine!

VeriSexy · 11-18-2004, 08:31 AM

Big business have way too much power over politics, all most of the politicians are on the payroll of big companies now. If this is a new law, then anything that blocks ads on the internet should be illegal as well

that's bad enough, but imagine this, notice how many popular movies have scenes where sneaker, drink and car logos are zoomed in on for a split second here and there?

I'm just about giving up on movies.

The last few I have gotten have been like that. We still don't watch them though..... that's the pre-movie run thru the house for the kids snacks, pallets, or whatever else they are doing..... so we don't watch them. So wonder if I will go to jail? YIKES!!

Read the tag more carefully, only to removed by purchaser or consumer or something like that. I always thought it was NEVER to be removed. : ) I've always wondered about these stupid "laws."

Advertisers need to get there money in ... it's sickening. Watch the end of a Nascar race when they are interviewing the winner, the horrible, blatant advertisement is horrible.
