Simpsons season 6 DVD

[sal]

So I'm all excited to buy the sixth season of the Simpsons at my local Best Buy for $29.99. I get there, and to my surprise the set is made out of this really flimsy, cheap plastic...similar to what the Disney VHS tapes came in during the 1980s. The set is sealed shut by tape (!) and opens like a clam using a cheap plastic hinge on the bottom. The disc holders are not sturdy, and all the enclosed materials fall out every time the box is opened. Not only this, but the first piece of information to fall out is a card saying that by dialing a 1-800 number, you can get a slipcase for your crappy, cheaply made box set from Fox Home Entertainment. So I dial the number, and they are trying to charge a $2.95 shipping charge for it!! To securely store a poor quality product I already paid for, they are trying to charge for a sturdy slipcase!!!! What a fucking jip......this is the last Simpsons box set I buy, and possibly the last product I ever buy from Fox.

Thanks for listening.

Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage - A long-running comedy bit in which Late Night staffer Pierre Bernard Jr. sits in a recliner and relates a story that has angered him personally recently. This tale is always a long, drawn-out personal tale delivered in a soft-spoken tone that usually involves some sort of comic-book, sci-fi-related, or similarly esoteric medium.

Let's boycott! I for one, will not buy another Simpsons set until the release of Season 7. Let them ponder their evil ways until then!

ARRRGHHH?

I think you mean D'OH!

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Yeah, this packaging does certainly suck. I mean, the plastic's so thin... why? And the artwork all tumbles out when you try to get at the discs... why? Were they trying to create a bad package?

I'll be sending off for the old-style package.

Me too, when I get it. Thanks for the link Chaney. What they put there is quite humorous. Hey Chaney, is that you in your avatar? If so, are you bowing a cymbal? How's that sound?
