THE WORLD CAN'T WAIT!

We need your help. Today a terrible atrocity has been committed. Amazon has done the unthinkable. They removed the 'VHS' search tab. No this isn't a joke! Seriously, the world needs your help. Please contact Amazon today, beg them to bring it back, write to your representatives, get in the streets, fucking do something!

    "You guys removed the VHS option from your site! WHY?! there are many of us who are looking for the best quality used VHS tapes on the market. There are web groups of us who are OUTRAGED at the fact you are trying to close this down. You are a life line to entire web communities. You must hate customers, and the people if you remove VHS tapes! BRING BACK THE VHS!"

    SENT.

    I can't believe that I actually noticed this on Amazon before I saw your post about it. I was similarly concerned.

    Just sent them an email. I think it's appalling.
