Counterproductivity - you're very good at it, you know

[oneiriad]

You know, I get all the anti-copying and anti-piracy and anti-downloading and anti.etc arguments. I don't necessarily agree with the worldview they're coming from, but I get them. However.

When I sit down to watch a dvd - a dvd that I've acquired quite legally, paid good money for (to a rental company, but still, paid for the right to watch it) - why do you punish me? Why do you stick one of those stupid Bevar Originalerne adds on that were everywhere a few years ago and which I could never stand? Why did you specifically stick on the one with Søren Fauli, a man whose presence on the tv screen has the same effect on me as Poul Dissing's voice, i.e. I can not stand it (like fingernails across a blackboard, a viceral dislike, complete and utter do not want!!!!)? And why did you do it in such a way that I couldn't skip and I couldn't even fastforward?

Seriously, who the fuck do you think you are? Punishing me with Fauli? When all I have done is rent a bloody dvd with Jekyll???!!! Who the fuck do you think you are????!!!!!

That bothers the heck out of me. What do they expect people to do? Pay money for the DVD and five minutes of obnoxious commercials that take an effort to skip past, if it's possible at all - or just download the same thing sans ads for free?

Epic behavior modification fail.
