I found this humourous:
DVD Tries To Pass Off 'Language Options,' 'Scene Selection' As Special Features
PLANO, TX—The recently released Joe Somebody DVD attempts to pass off "language options" and "scene selection" as special features, an unhappy buyer reported Monday. "What the hell?" said Plano, TX, resident Bill Vinson, who was hoping for never-before-seen outtakes or director's commentary. "While they're at it, why don't they boast that it features 'complete credits' and a special 'pause option'? Christ."

I'm surprised they didn't go for "interactive menus." That's worse.

The Onion has been cranking out some good news stories for a while.

You do know they're fake, right?

DAMN! Somebody beat me to this thread
It also didnt list full color character artwork on disc as a feature!

 

[David Lambert]

I've been bitching for 3 years about DVDs that list junk like this among their special features. :rolleyes

Well, my favourite "special feature", listed on Columbia's recent DVD of The Revenge of Frankenstein was this:
Audio: English
So kind of them to provide sound on this release.

That terrorists in Hell one is an absolute crack up!

This one too: "God only promised humanity that He would never again flood the entire Earth. He never said He wouldn't flood specific areas."

The Onion rules.
