America just keeps getting weirder...

I've just been reading this article on Yahoo news about this Christmas movie that people will be able to see on "destructable" dvds-- basically on the play side of the dvd there is a chemical which reacts when it's packaging is opened, and anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours it ruins the play side because of being exposed to the air.

That's weird, but not the weirdest bit... further on down the article the following line appears:

"McDonald's has even installed DVD vending machines in more than 100 Denver-area restaurants, where they rent for $1 per night with a credit card."

DVD vending machines at Mickey D's... how bizarre is that?
