'I have no idea whatsoever what regional coding means.', said Homer Simpson. 'But it's essensial that you buy a multi-regional player. Do it now! Don't worry, we'll still be waiting here when you get back.'

Doh! He did it again! Homer Simpson, the funniest cartoon character in the history (IMHO), made the above comment in The Simpsons section of UK based version of Fox, the distributor of The Simpsons. They are recommending that UK customers bypass the regional encoding system enforced by DVD manufacturers. And guess who's giving the advice? Homer Simpson himself!
Remember Apex DVD Players? They're the ultimate solution for those who want to bypass the regional encoding system in UK, through which the customer can also use the hidden menu to disable the Macrovision copy protection to make copies of the DVD onto VHS tapes. :-) Apex is originally made in China and imported to the United States.
Thanks lord they're in China, and Homer has made the comment on a UK based site, not a US one, since Motion Picture Association of America and movie studios are pretty upset with both of them!
PS. I'm not giving any advice to buy or not to buy those DVD players!!
Last but not least, I hardly miss The Simpsons!! I have put together a small script which shows a random quote of Homer Simpson!! Check it out!, refresh, refresh and enjoy! [URL subject to change]
