This will put your "crazy" guitar collecting in perspective.

Experience: I own nearly 3,000 VHS tapes of Titanic

People send me tapes from all over. I have copies from Germany and Japan

Whenever people see my collection and ask “why?” I respond with, “mental illness”. No one has ever questioned that.

Also, collecting multiple copies of the same mass produced item is a bit odd. I could see trying to collect every ‘59 Burst or every Guild Nightbird DX or something that’s known to have limited numbers, but “collecting” countless copies of Titanic on VHS just seems like hoarding. There’s probably a fine line between pot and kettle there, though.

Agreed, this is just weird!

I am tempted to send him a DVD.

He can start renting them out.

Why has no one ever questioned it?

Did I just question it?

The most incredible part of that article is that the guy mentions that he has a girlfriend!!

So he says. I bet he also claims she lives in Canada.

 

[bobouz]

I think perhaps his “girlfriend” went down with the ship!

...But...but, those DVD's were: "Made to be played"

With that many copies, he'll never have to rewind.

As if this "Canada" is really a place?

If he really had a girlfriend he would-a blamed it all on her.
