I didn't think I'd see it again

Paramount Pictures just sent my newspaper a trailer of its new SpongeBob Squarepants movie on a...Betamax videocassette.

What's next, press releases on floppy diskettes?

Seriously, I assume the Betacam SP cassette was intended for one of many TV stations that still use the technology, but it's kind of weird to see such a tiny tape knocking around a much-larger VHS-format case (a yellow one, of course).
