Top 10 Reasons why VHS is better than DVD (humor) (1 Viewer)

[MikeEckman]

I got this off another board, so I dont take credit for it:
10.Video Tapes are cheaper - $3.99-$9.99 on average.
9.If your tape breaks, who cares? Just go get another one. (see reason number 10)
8.VCR's are cheap. Buy 4 and keep 3 for parts.
7.VCRs make a great place for the kids to stash their peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches.
6.The VHS Tape Boxes really stack nicely.
5.No Snappers!!!
4.You won't have to upgrade your current stereo system.
3.VCR players can blink 12:00 for eternity.
2.Many VCR's rewind themselves when they get to the end. Can a DVD Player do that?
and the number one reason is.........
1.If you ever find youself stranded on a deserted island, you can use VCR Tape to lash together a really incredible raft.

11. VHS hardly ever has those annoying black bars.
12. When a VCR eats a tape, you get valuable exercises in hand/eye coordination when you try to remove it!
13. No extras to take up valuable time that could be used drinking a six pack!
14. VHS is heavier and thus makes a better paddle for smacking an unruly pet/child.

Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause.
Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve.

VHS cassette makes a satisfying crunching noise when you're angry and have to smash it on someones head.
Tape makes erm good toilet paper, and doesn't block the drains.
