I simply can not stand to watch anything unless the aspect ratio is exactly as originally intended. Virtualy every store I have been in recently has even their high end systems wrong. The Sony showcase store at the Metrion in SF had $20k plus systems showing 2.35:1 movies with the players set to 4:3 instead of 16:9 so the resulting movie is 3:1. And of course, virtually every store in the world shows regular 4:3 video at 16:9.

My friend just bought a 56" 16:9 and is always watching it with the short fat people conversion on 🙄 I can't stand it.
Jenny Craig?
I was in a local discount store the other day that handles just about everything. They sell returned merchandise, out of fashion and things that apparently fell off the truck. It's organized loosely so when I got to the end of the TVs all showing the output from one DVD player at a fixed ratio, next to one of the TVs showing someone that was stretched thin there was a shelf of weight-loss products. Knowing what the employees are paid somebody likely did it on purpose.
