Unless one of the people in the court is a regular of the forum, I don't think you have to worry too much.

Its the King of fruits right???
For sure... no other fruit can stand up against its formidable look, and even more formidable odor.
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
The durian is commonly known as the "king of the fruits", the label that can be attributed to its formidable look and overpowering odour. Due to such unusual characteristics, the durian has been referenced or parodied in various cultural mediums. To foreigners the durian is typically perceived as a symbol of revulsion, as it can be seen in the Japanese anime Dragon Ball which featured the loathsome villain Dodoria, whose name and appearance have been derived from the durian fruit. Dodoria, a large pink alien with short spikes on his head and forearms, was given an unattractive role which required slaughtering numerous characters and eventually getting killed himself. Similarly, the TV series Fear Factor challenged participants with the "Blender of Fear", a concotion of ground-up pig brains with ingredients including rooster testes and cow eyes, and the durian providing the needed revolting odour for the drink.
On the other hand, the durian is an everyday edible in southeastern Asia, and is portrayed in the local media in accordance with the different cultural perception. The durian symbolised the subjective nature of ugliness and beauty in Hong Kong director Fruit Chan's 2000 film Durian Durian (��槤�G�G, Liulian piao piao), and was a nick name for the reckless but lovable protagonist in the Singaporean TV comedy Durian King, played by Adrian Pang. Likewise, the oddly shaped Esplanade building in Singapore is often called "The Durian" by locals. In Malaysia, there is a slice-of-life comic strip by C.W. Kee which has Sunday colour editions called It's A Durian Life.
Being a fruit much loved by a variety of wild beasts, the durian sometimes signifies the long-forgotten animalic aspect of humans, as in the legend of Orang Mawas, the Malaysian version of Bigfoot, and Orang Pendek, its Sumatran version, both of which have been claimed to feast on durians.
With its reputation as an aphrodisiac, the durian's flavour has been used in condoms. In Thailand, durian-flavoured condoms used to be sold at 7-Eleven nationwide. Indonesia began selling durian-flavoured condoms in 2003. According to the director of DKT Indonesia, the country's leading condom distributor, 150,000 of the durian-flavoured condoms were sold in their first week on the market.

i've recently come to acknowledge the GENIUS of Tu_Triky.
When I got Triky's copy of Moto Kare, i noticed that he didn't put his return address on it. I thought it was because of privacy issues, but now after attempting to watch the first episode, i realize the real reason.
1. If the package got lost, it would never get returned to sender.
2. After trying to watch an episode, there is no possible way I could send it back to him.
Not only did he rid himself of the cursed DVD, there's no chance for him to get it back. It's a win-win situation.
