Don't all Hawaiian residents get a copy? Like the oil money in Alaska?

Speaking of Bigfoot - GD pointed out to me that Hurley doesn't really have any flaws, so how is mixed up in all this mess anyway?

I suppose his flaw is allowing himself to become controlled by his belief in "the curse", an inability to take responsibility for making the best of his life despite any bad luck he might have. Still seems like a weak flaw compared to everyone else's.

Well, apparently they're overstocked on classic Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum P.I. DVDs. Once they get through passing those out, then they'll start on Lost. I hear that with every Lost DVD that they give out they'll also include DVDs from Jake and the Fatman and Byrds of Paradise (LOTS of those, I hear).

Ah, but the link provided by your wife reminded me that Jacob didn't touch Hurley (or Sayid for that matter) until after they'd left the Island. Implying (to me) Jacob had different selection criteria for them than for the rest of the candidates. Sayid just happened to indeed have a fuctup life. Maybe Hurley was chosen, well because Jacob just obviously really liked Hurley and thought he would be awesome for the Island.
