I hate that annoying commercial.

Okay, you know that CD/DVD stripper they advertise on TV?

Here's me saving you twenty bucks if you've ever thought of ordering one.

How to easily get the plastic off your CDs or DVDs: Got a sharp metal edge on a countertop or table? Drag one side hard across the edge. Big pieces of the poly rip away when you do that.

How to easily get the spine label off your CD: Pop open the lower hinge with your thumb. Lift up the top of the CD case and pull and the spine label comes right off without you having to pick it off.

How to easily get the spine labels off your DVD: Score along the opening of the DVD case and you can pull them off a hell of a lot easier than you can if you try to pick the corners away from the plastic. (Yeah, okay, that one's a little more annoying.)

Don't mind me. After a year working in a CD factory and doing all of that on a nightly basis, seeing them sell those things for twenty bucks each bugs the pants off me.

Heh. I love doing that at work. When we have to rip down CDs because of a mistake it doesn't even matter if there's tear tape on them, I'll still go over to one of the conveyor belts and use the metal edges to rip the poly off. :)
