Da wording on a dockside sign dat warns aquatic sportsmen about of a serious bacterial infection of fish caused by throwing videocassettes into the water.
I always find da "VHS ALERT: BOATERS & ANGLERS" signs puzzling, since conceivably most folks who would be venturing out on a lake or river would not even have televisions or VCRs with them, and so there should be little problem of folks tossing their broken/unwanted tapes overboard while they were cruising around in their skiffs and yachts.

aka The Downward-Value Utility Arbitrage Principle
/vee-aitch-es thee-uh-ruhm/
Definition:
A consumer hack for maximum lifestyle value on a pauper budget. The VHS Theorem states: when something’s cultural clout collapses faster than its functionality, its utility-per-dollar skyrockets. In plain English: if it still works but nobody wants it, it’s basically magic.
Mechanics:
Cultural Abandonment – everyone chases the new shiny thing.
Functional Persistence – the old stuff still works fine.
Depression Pricing – sellers panic-sell at rock-bottom prices.
Utility Extraction – you live like a sultan on a scratch-off budget.
Examples:
VHS tapes, DVDs, old game consoles, CRT TVs, secondhand instruments, cast iron, estate sale gold — basically anything that fell out of fashion but still functions.
When culture abandons it, the wise inherit it.

Get the The VHS Theorem mug.The FNAF VHS tapes are a series of analog horror-style videos inspired by the Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) game franchise. These tapes are often presented as "lost" or "found" recordings, adding to the eerie and unsettling atmosphere that the FNAF series is known for.
The tapes typically feature footage of animatronic characters like Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, and Foxy the Pirate Fox, often showcasing their movements, sounds, and sometimes even "behind-the-scenes" content. The videos are designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia while also delivering a creepy and unsettling experience, much like the games themselves
