Others in the past have said to use "Stop" as soon as the disk 
loads, then "Menu". Does this not work on this disk? (Even if it 
works, I still agree that the automatic ads are bad. I'm just 
curious whether Universal has escalated this abomination to the next 
level.)

If you do, please let us know what happens. While I agree with you 
that this is unacceptable, I'd be surprised if a retailer agrees and 
takes back an opened disk.
