One real odd old story of mine...

This is one of the weirdest things that ever has happened to me.

It is some years ago, when I was still living in my hometown Joensuu, Finland. It was that year, when the movie Moulin Rouge came to video rental. At those days DVD was a relatively new thing, and I was also still having a VHS player (and when I still had a TV, I haven't had TV since 2003).

Anyways, I had agreed with some friend(s) of mine that we would rent Moulin Rouge and watch it together. There is maybe 3 video rental places in Joensuu, and I toured all of them, but they all had rented Moulin Rouge out. It was a new film, and many people wanted to see it. Disappointed after all this effort, I went to a local department store, Anttila. I went to their movie section, and I noticed that one of my other favorite films, Amelie, was on sales.

I decided that I would buy this Amelie VHS-cassette instead, and that we would watch that. I randomly selected one of those Amelie-movies, and paid my purchase. Before my friends arriving, I opened the newly bought cassette. The VHS cassette had a text Amelie. I put it in my VHS-player....and what happens: I was totally shocked, because there didn't start Amelie, but Moulin Rouge!!!! Moulin Rouge, without Finnish subtitles, commercials etc. like usually in those VHS-cassettes. I think those two films were not even produced in the same year...
I remember calling to my sister and friends about this. We watched Moulin Rouge.. What I regret now later, is that I went back to the department store the next day, and exchanged that cassette to a real Amelie film. But this remains as one of the weirdest mysteries of my everyday life...
