Red Cross kills Survival Kit!! - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Hi!

Just come across this.
Due to legal issues with the American Red Cross, Anchor Bay will
change the design of their Sleepaway Camp Survival Kit.
Here's the link with a pic of the new design:

Better get the old one while you can.

Guess I'm gonna hang on to my 4-Disc Set after all.

Best,
ILSA

dammit! I really wish I was in a position to buy this.

I was going to buy it as soon as I was able to find a friggin' job. Guess I'll have to wait longer, and get it with a different cover design.

Nevermind, I just actually clicked the link after posting the above (

), and it doesn't say anything about it being discontinued. I just missed out on getting a collector's item. Oh well.

This is amazing to me on several different levels. Not just that the Red Cross even found about this cover art in the first place, but that somebody at the RC felt so strongly that a red cross on a DVD cover would affect their business so much that they had them change it??? That's amazing.

I agree, shouldn't they be saving lives or something, rather than complaining about a DVD

The Red Cross is a very corrupt organization. 60 Minutes has covered it pretty well. Also some California newspapers.
