Wrong Region

When the prime minister of the UK visited recently, our president gave him a set of DVDs of 25 American Movies. But when the PM got home, he got a rude surprise:

The films only worked in DVD players made in North America and the words "wrong region" came up on his screen.

You may wonder why there are "region codes":

The purpose of this is to allow motion picture studios to control aspects of a release, including content, release date, and, especially, price, according to the region.

He wanted to watch,
but the gift was a botch.
