Can you really imagine yourself saying that? I mean, it doesn’t really roll off the tongue like “I’m going to go watch a DVD.”  To be fair, “I’m going to go watch an HD DVD.” doesn’t sound too good either, but at least that can be shortened to DVD.

For that reason alone I’d have prefered HD DVD to win. Other than that it doesn’t make much difference to me that Blue-Ray won. I’m cool with my regular old fashioned DVD player for now. That and I’m not going to fork out for a next-gen player knowing full well that theres a 50/50 chance it will become obsolete once the hardware war settles. Fuck that for a laugh.

But for fuck’s sake! “I’m going to go watch a Blu-Ray.” sounds so goddamn retarded its unreal. My tutor told me yesterday that people were shortening it to BD. So you’d say “I’m off to watch a BD.” Now thats better but its still pretty daft sounding. Thats when my mate pointed out that BD sounds like a yorkshire bloke saying “Bee die”.
Thanks to him, whenever someone tells me they’re going to “Watch a BD.” I will imagine them sitting down to watch a snuff movie about bees. Cheers mate, you’ve already killed it for me. D:
