Turn DVD Over for More Special Features! - What?

Why does the 'Special Features' menu simply show the text of this post's title instead of letting me view 'Behind the Scenes' or 'Production Stills'?

Did they not HAVE those features or what the heck is going on? Is this supposed to be funny?

You don't turn DVDs over, they're not VCR cassettes (video tapes)!

I suppose it -could- be possible to have a 'double-sided DVD', but I have never really heard of existence of those.

So what's going on with the Special Features, why would the menu say that?

Also, what does 'Bonus Materials Are Unrated' mean? Are they sometimes rated??

Kinda annoying to have things in the menu you can never see because of this 'joke'. Oh well, at least we get to see the horrible deleted scenes - wow, they weren't kidding, they're absolutely dreadful.

Many DVD's (in the past,at least) you had to turn over.
Sometimes because the movie was long,sometimes there were fullscreen vs widescreen versions on different sides.

It's the same as full screen on one side, widescreen on the other. It's not rocket science. And yet, the bonus features are on the other side of the UHF disc.
