Remember those DVDs?

The ones our President gave English PM Gordon Brown?

They don't work:

The films only worked in DVD players made in North America and the words "wrong region" came up on his screen.
So, do I laugh, or cry?

Cry. We're stuck with Teleprompter Jesus until 2012.

Then cry more when you realize there's no other party that can field a decent candidate to run against him.

I am laughing so hard it is making me cry.

I thought that might happen, and of course the technical-minded will narrowly say, can't you (Gordon Brown?) just switch the region pin-out?
Consideration and thoughtfulness is a thin veneer on TeleprompterJebus, there is no depth, no forebrain - it's all lizard intellect.

Let's also not forget that our new Secretary of State gave the Russian's a "Reset" button - to signal the resetting of our relations with them.
Too bad the Russian word on the button meant more like 'overload', or 'overcharged', than 'Reset'.
