Either way, they should not have made the ads unskippable.
Note: The ads being unskippable is an exploit of the dvd design that allowed for the copyright notice (FBI warning to those of us in the US) to be shown and not bypassed. This was meant as a way to help reduce piracy.

Yeah, I have the US version and there are no ads.
The practice did start with Disney IIRC. Pretty ridiculous. Advertising has gotten entirely out of hand--not just on DVDs, but everywhere.
