| LaserDisc Turtle, a Pioneer exclusive. Awwww, he's so obscure !!!!! |
Pioneer LaserDisc Turtle wishes Drop Aztek readers a Happy 2012!!!!!
He would also like to remind you, in a cute, non-intrusive way, that "that's not how LaserDiscs work". (Note that LaserDisc Turtle was exclusive to Pioneer LaserVision players, as was the brand name "LaserDisc". If you owned a non-Pioneer player, you were watching "LaserVideo discs" and would only get a bland text warning.) You put it in upside down, so it's about as helpless as a turtle (or Bender) on its back. If you're seeing this it's 1980 and the CD has yet to be invented, so it's all good, you're not expected to know that a laser can't read the other side.
In life as well, sometimes the program material is on the other side of the disc. May the warning that you need to get up and change things around be kindly and benign like LaserDisc Turtle (who, considering that LaserDiscs were about as big as 33s, would actually be quite freakish, but that's besides the point), not harsh and condemning like the loud, bucking noise a CD-ROM makes when you put two CDs in at the same time. Which actually happened to a friend. I was there. It was hilarious.
But anyways, Happy 2012!!!!
