I go black bars or I don't watch it period.

QFT - I've gotten into friend and/or family arguments over whether something is distorted or not. I'd even wager to say that at least 50% of America can't tell if something is actually 4:3 but stretched to 16:9.

The last time it was a huge ordeal for me was over at a friend's house - we were watching a comedy and it was clearly 4:3, but it was being stretched to 16:9 on their widescreen TV. I was about to die the entire time and eventually I had to bring it up. Then everyone in the entire room waged Holy War against me saying it wasn't stretched.
