Randian Correction Of The Day

Gawker points out that over 100,000 DVD copies of Atlas Shrugged are being recalled because the box insert commits the VERY non-libertarian crime of mentioning “self-sacrifice.”

“It’s embarrassing for sure and of course, regardless of how or why it happened, we’re all feeling responsible right now.” says Scott DeSapio, Atlas Productions’ COO and Communications Director “You can imagine how mortified we all were when we saw the DVD but, it was simply too late – the product was already on shelves all over the Country. It was certainly no surprise when the incredulous emails ensued. The irony is inescapable.”

The replacement insert card substitutes that horrifically noble language with the phrase “self-interest.” That’s more like it!
