I rented a VHS movie for the first time since I got my DVD player (It's been a while) and I was reminded of the nuisance of fast forwarding through 10-20 minutes of ads and trailers on a VHS (Now that the are targeted for rentals there seems to be a lot more junk on them than when I first started renting movies so long ago)

I see that just about all the DVD's I've seen do not have any ads that you are forced to watch (some just have a section in the "special features" section where you can see still of other DVD's put out by the same company.

My only DVD's with ads are MallRats and American Pie (both Universal releases) I wish they would stop it!

Have you guys seen any other DVD's with forcibly shown ads?
