The Neverending DVD Story

I’ve never seen The Wire but I know the theme song by heart. Every morning for a period of several weeks I would find my roomate curled in the fetal position on our couch with the menu screen for the show blaring on repeat. As everyone who has fallen asleep while watching a DVD knows, the infinite repetition of the main page can go from a lullaby into a loathsome loop—especially for unwitting housemates, lovers, or pets.

As if the actual experience weren’t bad enough, someone has gone and made an internet version of this apparently universal experience by creating youfellasleepwhilewatchingadvd.com, a website that allows you to endlessly watch the menu screen for Punch Drunk Love, Arrested Development, or even Terminator 2.
