On a recent flight, I sat next to a gentleman with a Netflix red envelope of "The Change-Up". He inserted the disc into his laptop and saw the home page, which gave him two options: the theatrical release and the unrated version. He clicked the unrated version, only to be given a black screen with white text that said (in a poorly-written manner), "You want the unrated version? Go buy the movie!" It would hold there for maybe eight seconds, then jump back to the home page. The poor guy kept clicking the unrated version link, unable to understand what the screen was trying to tell him. I finally took pity on the guy and said, "You've got the rental version. If you want the unrated version, you have to go buy the DVD." He was quite upset, not at the fact that it was a limited version, but that they put it on the home page when it clearly wasn't available on the disc he had.
