(New York) A JVC VCR was pronounced dead Thursday evening, it's lifeless plastic body failing to respond to repeated presses of the On/Off button.

Actual time of death will never be determined since the owner Nicole Rossman cannot recall the last time she actually used the 4 Head Video Cassette Recorder which featured Hi Fi sound capabilities.

"It used to belong to my former roommate who I think bought it college," Rossman sighed as she cleaned the shelf under the TV where the Progressive Scan VCR used to occupy. "I never used it since I Tivo everything and watch movies on DVD. I couldn't even tell you what happened to the remote."

With a partially viewed copy of While You Were Sleeping starring Sandra Bullock still inside, the VCR was laid to rest in the basement of Nicole's apartment building between the recycling bins and the never used fondue pot left there by the guy in 5C.

Obviously the cause of death was that movie by Sondra Bullock. :lol:

As for the remote, someone must have sat on it, but good. ;)

:rip:

Irene, I never knew you were a celeb-u-tard basher. You seemed so nice and sweet. ;)
May the VCR rest in piece. :( As far as 'While you were sleeping', it's a decent movie. Out there, but decent.

There has to be a more dignified way to go.

Even for a machine.

Our family's first VCR was in use for sixteen years. It was even a few years older than me! But when you taped something on it during the last few years, it would be bad sound quality.
