Vaguely relevant to this discussion, basically stupid people are complaining about youtube going widescreen, this is the level of stupidity we have to contend with.

I wouldn't consider those complaints "stupidity". They simply don't like the black bars. It's not really "stupidity" until they say the black bars are actually covering the picture. Then I want to smother them in their sleep.

Yeah I was probably being a bit harsh, most of them just seem to be asking to have the choice, which is a good thing, it just ammuses me that people complain about this when 16:9 is becoming the standard for tv/video, people just need to accept black bars in one form or another, they're not that bad I don't know how people can descride them as "distracting".
