Courts are tied up dealing with contracts all the time, the only winners are the lawyers. Look at the church of Scientology they have a billion year contract that not only covers you but any future reincarnations of you (I would love to see them try and enforce that :-) But most courts do have a "reasonable man" view on things like this, if the contract is beyond reason in it's demand then courts can throw it out. This is the courts view what is reasonable not yours...
But remember it is your responsibility to read the contract before signing it.. .. saying you didn't bother or it was too long ... is not a legal excuse.
