NATO Gives Stallone HDDVDs to Needy Pakistani
In an effort to win the hearts and minds of many of the tribes that are situated within Taliban-controlled Pakistan, NATO forces have air dropped surplus copies of classic Sylvester Stallone films on HDDVD. Among the titles to choose from are Rocky IV, Copland, Cobra and Over the Top.
A spokesman for NATO forces points to the availablity often titles due to the fact that Blue-Ray won the 21st century version of the format wars.
“We don’t think that the tribesmen should care or even know that they are getting an inferior technology,” said Lt. Col. Paul Carpenter, “They will make fine additions to their collections. Everyone likes to see Stallone blow up crap!”
This news was followed by a statement from the US Marine Corps that a consignement of HDDVD players was accidentally dropped within the confines of the Pakistani forces.
“I hope this development doesn’t mean that factions will be fighting over the players and the disks. That would be pointless. Kind of like when Stallone made Oscar.”
