It could be gone tomorrow. FYI, the "anal massage" link to Target is now broken. It looks like someone is in the business of hacking Target. more inside

Wasn't this inevitable? Budget movies put on self-destructing DVDs. Selling for $4.99 at Amazon.com, they become unplayable 48 hours after they are opened. It's all part of a new, very different, model of movie distribution, in which throw-away DVDs are released on the same day the movie premiers at theaters.
