DVD Stickers

I'm in.
They should put the space shuttles together with those stickers.

Ah the joys of being Scottish, no pesky labels except for my imports from the US.
Is it some kind of bonus game, an adult version of wrap the parcel?
Somebody somewhere is making a fortune on the back of their sticky label company, I wonder if he/she has a large leather chair with a white cat? :goof:
Is world domination on the cards? :eek:
Yes, tonight I'm tangent man, time for my meds!!!!! :yup:

:laugh: Good one Samsonite!

I agree. I especially hate it when they put it on all sides of the DVD. I get one off, excitedly try to open the case and cuss like a sailor when I have to pull the other 2 stickers off, almost invariably leaving a dent/scratch in the plastic, if not worse, and always on the front side of the DVD case. Arrrgghh!!!

Yes many of my DVD cases have that fingernail "dimple" in their plastic covers! Also some retail outlets love to put added stickers on the outside of the plastic (esp. previously viewed DVD from rental outlets). They use that ultra adhesive glue that leaves a gummy residue behind that you have to rub off with your fingertip!

Remember the old bar room game where the person that could peel the label fully off of a beer bottle without ripping it, won a drink? That's how I feel when I try to peel off those damn security stickers! AHG!

Razor blades from boxcutters never got so much use at home before. Those stickers are evil.

I just use my pocketknife.... very carefully.

An old mate from school would agree...

In his student days, down on his luck and money, he decided to steal a CD from a well-known music chain. The CD carried the same security sticker as has been mentioned so he tried to peel it off whilst appearing to innocently walk around the store.

To cut a short story shorter, the force required to remove the tag almost lifted his fingernail clean off. Loads of Blood. Cd on the floor. Embarrassed, bleeding guy heading for the exit.

And before anyone says, the guy wasn't me. My shoplifting days ended before they begun... ;)

I really, really, really HATE those security stickers that they put on DVDs. I thought I was the only one who hated that crap. Though when it comes to movies, dvds & summat... you lot are the only ones I can relate to.

For those previously viewed stickers I use a hairdryer to heat up the adhesive and easy peasy lemon squeezy...you're able to peel them off with no problems.

I tried huffing hot air from my throat and some Pam, was messy and did not work. My dog also barked at me when I made the huffing noises, guess I need to spend some money.

Just a dab will do ya. Tell Pam I said hi.

I hope Pam is not the name of his dog!!! :eek:
What ever floats your boat, a hairdryer and Pam? :randy:

You're so handy.

Thanks, it's all in my fingers... but my thumbs carry the attitude & character.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

All that in just two thumbs?
They must be strong.

...now if they could only peel off dvd security stickers.

Well, you're not Superman.

[LordSlaytan]

I hate it when the cover insert is stuck with them. It never fails to leave a glaring blemish on the edge.

...but_but, you said you liked the cape?

[SamsoniteDelilah]

Keep the cape.
Lose the tiara.

I know what you mean...it didn't match the boots and did zilch for bringing out my eyes.

:p

Region 2 is 99% free from those stickers but what really annoyed me once was the security tag under the disc. I got Battle Royale and they forgot to remove it (i didn't know what it was) and i literally used scissors to cut the case open.

[Tacitus]

Aye, you'd try to walk through the gates of Heaven* and the bloody sticker'd set the alarm off....

*St Peter the security guard, natch.

[Darth Stujitzu]

Hey Sexy Celebrity, I thought you were staying off the moonshine!!!
Could be worse, IMO hell is a continual loop of Giggli with Ben and Jen sitting either side of me whilst proclaiming undying love for each other!!! Stuck between two asses for the rest of eternity!

[SamsoniteDelilah]

Jesus. See, I don't mean to sound paranoid, but I think those stickers are really demons from hell in disguise. I swear, if I'm sent to hell after I die, I expect to be in this really dark place... but then these 7 foot tall security stickers will suddenly walk out of the shadows and surround me, trap me. ..
I'm pretty sure my cat has a nightmare like that, as well. <evil grin>
