Blurays and DVDs to contain 2 unskippable government warnings of 10secs each.

Yikes.

All to educate the public, of course.

I'm sure someone will have fun calculating the man hours wasted by Americans each year looking at these infomercials.

Anyone ever saw an older person freak out the first time they saw that FBI warning at the start of a VHS? It's funny and kinda sad.
