Automatic Street Cred

Look, there may not be any video hipsters yet, but it’s only a matter of time.

And when that time comes, you’re either in or out. Like the trend of taping CDs back onto cassettes. It’s been going on for a couple years, and it’s about to be embraced by the mainstream, at which point, the scene will be declared dead. See how it works? The moment everyone’s doing it, nobody wants to.

But right now, there’s not a person alive taping their DVDs to a VCR tape. And there you go! This is the perfect time to move on a Phillips DVD/VCR Player! Not only will you at last be able to watch your movies in two formats, you’ll also be able to listen to MP3 discs, look at JPEGs, even tell the time. Be honest, don’t you miss that flashing 12:00 of yesteryear?

But more importantly, with a Phillips DVD/VCR Player, you’ll be able to make that cassette version of Videodrome and show it to your friends as the creator INTENDED it to be seen. Really, a commentary on the videotape era put to BLU-RAY? What a travesty! Like hearing “Pet Sounds” in stereo, it just doesn’t work.

The room might go silent after you say those words. But only to prepare for the inevitable slow clap. Because those words are the sort of words that begin a new trend. And without a Phillips DVD/VCR Player, you’ll never be able to mean them.
