Who wants to watch "HD" when you can invite people over to check out your "Blu-Ray." Note to future format pioneers: name your device something almost totally irrelevant to the format, but cool sounding, and it's smooth sailing. Blu-Ray only won because it sounds much cooler.

Has Blu-Ray passed the peanut butter test? Jam? Maple syrup? Pizza toppings? Sorry, but discriminating consumers expect more these days.

So it's clear why Blue-Ray won. Although in my defense, I had heard the porn industry was going HD-DVD exclusive and I thought that would be the deciding fact. How dare the pornographers screw me over like that! I admit, I bought an HD-DVD player. So it’s clear why Blue-Ray won.

The prophet Michael Bay already warned us months ago that Blu-ray is the future. Who would go against the genius of Michael Bay? HD-DVD owners, you only have yourselves to blame. I hope you have all learned your lesson and will never again go against the wisdom of Monsenior Bay. Anyone who bought a HD-DVD player must have been crazy!
