If you are planning to buy Paula Abdul's Straight Up VHS,(You can find this from a thrift store or a garage sale), beware that though the VHS box says you only get five videos, you actually get six videos(The Way That You Love Me version 2 is not mentioned on the packaging, but is there after Cold Hearted). And the box says that it is only 35 minutes long, when it actually runs closer to 50 minutes.

So??? You get more than you think you are getting. That's good.

Oh and if you can count to 6, you should notice 6 VHS tapes before you buy it.

Janice Johnson is being stupid for complaining about this.... but I'm pretty sure she means 6 music videos, not video tapes.

Only if you get something less than what's advertised, that is really considered false advertising. Must either being a packaging error or it could be counterfeit. Who knows?

It only occurs if you get something you're promised, but the other side fails to deliver what you want.

I agree, getting something extra what's advertised is better than getting something less than advertised.

I should have said "Be warned that there are 6 videos instead of 5 videos, so that after Cold Hearted", you do not stop the tape." I was about to turn the stop the tape after CH, but I decided to let it play so that I can what music they play for the credits(Basically all video compliations have a song played over credits), and then I saw a sixth video callled The Way That You Love Me Version 2, which I woukld have missed had I stopped the tape after CH.

I bought that tape when it first came out. I love the Cold Hearted video; it's HOT...well anyways Janice it is not false ad that there's an extra video you just need to let it run all the way to the end. I think that's the very beginning of 'EASTER EGGS' on VHS.
