Reply #16: I thought about that.

Then I thought I'd rather not even register a sale for it, not even at 50 cents, which I'm positive is a loss for the video store.

I got curious about something, so I called them up just now and talked to the same guy. Here's how the conversation went:

Me: "Yeah, I was just in there, asking about the Farenhype DVDs...I was wondering what Hollywood Video does with DVDs that simply don't ever sell at any price.."

He laughed and said "They get thrown out."

Me: "Literally?"

Him: "Yeah, literally. We bundle them up and send them to a place that disposes of them. Those Farhenhype DVDs are three days away from being sent out."

Me: "When did that thing come out? Couldn't have been TOO long ago, as Fahrenheit 9/11 just came out in June."

Him: "Um, I can't remember exactly, but I think August or September."

Me: "Is that pretty fast for being sent out for disposal?"

Him: "The fastest I've seen. Are you writing a story or something?"

I told him I was not, just curious, thanked him and got off the phone.
