We still aren't 100% sure that they're not screwing with us, but this is the horrible error that must not stay on the title sheet: The 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged, is known in philosophical and political circles for presenting a cogent argument advocating a society driven by rational self-interest. On the back of the film's retail DVD and Blu-ray however, the movie's synopsis contradictorily states "AYN RAND's timeless novel of courage and self-sacrifice comes to life..." Self-sacrifice is for idiots, duh! Ayn Rand used to mock poor beggars for being so poor. "Self-interest" is more like it. The good news is that Randroids who've already purchased this sacrilege consumer product can fix it themselves, just like Dagny Taggart would Conservatives take note:....

atlas went "meh" 100,000 "Atlas Shrugged" DVDs Recalled By

100,000 "Atlas Shrugged" DVDs have been recalled for an important danger they posed to unwary consumers: the title sheet suggested that viewers help someone out besides themselves.
Atlas Shrugged is a novel by Ayn Rand that tells the story of an alternate reality version of America where all the millionaires get sick of the government taking over their inventions so they go on strike. The original title sheet for the movie said that in it, "AYN RAND's timeless novel of courage and self-sacrifice comes to life..." This grave error posed a risk of fire. As in, it would make Ayn Rand fan's heads spontaneously immolate upon reading it. So the producers recalled the 100,000 DVDs to replace the sheet.
The new sheet will read, "AYN RAND's timeless novel of
rational self-interest comes to life..." (Emphasis added.)
Much better. I'll have to have a Tom Collins inside the priciest bar in all of Manhattan, built atop a skyscraper but feeling like a cellar, in order to wash that taste out of my mouth.
