Videodamus- This term was first developed with the advent of the video cassette player, and the sudsequent establishment of Video stores throughout the world. Sales representitives from the studio's tring to sell videos into the stores found that some store owners could acording to them predict the future success or failure of a film in their area before it has been released. Famous Quatrains like "That won't work in my area" or " The people in my area are wierd" if these Quatrains fail there is alway the old reliable "I've blown my budget this month". Many have thought these powers of perception are being wasted in the cut and thrust enviroment of the video industry. There are many commentators who do not understand why these "videodamuses" aren't using these remarkable powers for the bennifit of human kind or there own monitary gain.
Other terms include- "DVDdarmus" -this is a modern adaption of the term "videodamus".
