Current action prohibited by disk

Posted by Chris

Or something like that. That's what our DVD player says when we try to fast-forward through the previews or introductory material on a DVD. This never fails to annoy me. I'll bet it's not technologically impossible for the machine to ignore the disk instructions and fast-forward anyway. For the publishers of the DVD to try to force me to watch an ad is merely outrageous - merely because my expectations about this sort of thing are so low now that I'm able to keep my revenge fantasies under control. The serious scandal here is that the DVD machine - our DVD machine - is conspiring with these bastards. It's our damn DVD player. Whose side is it supposed to be on?
