HD DVD/Blu-ray war humour
Once in a while, after you've read all the serious technical arguments for and against each next-generation DVD format, you just have to find something that makes you laugh.
Enter Cracked.com's guide to the format wars. Likening the war to 'two fat children on a teeter-totter' they surmise:
"It’s practically guaranteed that one of the formats will die off completely, leaving anyone who supported the losing format with a $1000 turd sitting in their living room. And unless you’re a connoisseur of post-modern shock art, or have very specific sexual preferences, a turd has no business in your living room."
and conclude that the eventual winner will be the format with the least stupid name.
"If that sounds stupid, remember that consumers are at heart, incredibly stupid. Seriously. These are the same people that bought Furbees."
Forget Microsoft, Intel, Sony, Toshiba, Disney, Warner... This sounds fair to me.
