Please Rewind
This is hillarious: {{link http://broken.typepad.com/b/2004/03/rewind_dvd_labe.html DVD Label}}
This is Broken has been a great blog of weird and bad designs in many ways. I actually helped Mark move forward from the old version of this site which was basically hand coded (and had a poor user experience) to a blog-orriented version. I originally had recreated TiB on a Blogger and had repopulated the most recent 10 entries.
He had started working in that direction and got help from a friend who gave him a grat deal on his TypePad account. The story here is that I went to all that work simply to be able to do what I just did: Link to one entry that really caught my eye.
The Entry at TiB reads:
This sticker was on the inside of a DVD I rented. This was taken about 3.5 years ago, late in 1999/early 2000. A little bit before DVDs were truly mainstream.
and it has an image of a stick on a DVD case that reads: “Be Kind, Please Rewind”
