Help! Any manufacturers out there?

Could manufacturers off wide screen TVs please STOP the option of taking standard TV broadcasts and stretching it to wide screen. I am sick and tired of going to restaurants, bars, friends houses and watching a distorted picture. I'm to the point I would rather the TV be off than watch a movie/program with a distorted picture. It amazes me that most people don't even know it unless I point it out. And even then, they would rather the whole screen be filled with the distortion than seeing black space on their screen.

That said, I would rather the ONLY option be to increase the picture to fill the screen by cutting off the top and bottom of the picture. At least one does not have to view the distortion.

What say you?
