“I don’t care what any one says, Laser-Disc is still cool!”

This week’s winner by Chad Freiling makes us laugh because it reminds us of our days working in the Sight & Sounds department of Service Merchandise back in the early 1990s when Laser Discs really were cool.

For his efforts, Chad gets a great Layer 8 prize. Runners-up can be found after the jump.
