Default WTF.....?

Not to distract you all from all the wonderful E3 threads.....but......this just happened like two hours ago...

So, in an unexpected move fueled by boredom and the asi-asi rip of Mezmerize that I have (It's mezmerize by the way, everyone is spelling it mesmerize...), I went out and picked up the CD for like 9 bucks. Good deal, except the clerk at circuit city carded me!

He's like, "I need to see a photo ID sir."
I'm like, "Why do you need to see a photo ID?"
(I figure it's something like Best Buy's reward zone card or something)
So he goes, "I need to check your age sir, the CD has a parental advisory label on it."
Me, "You're sh*tting me right? This isn't an Illinois law."
Then he goes, "No sir, 'FBI Law.' He then turns the CD over and points to the FBI anti-piracy sticker."
Dazed and confused I'm like, "uggh....that's the anti-piracy sticker. hahaha, you have to be joking me?"

So yeah....I'm 17 and I gave the guy my ID to avoid a retarded conflict, plus the guy behind me was getting impatient that I kept swearing and I wasn't cooperating, but what the flying f*ck?!?!? Can they do that? First amendment? Last time I checked, there is NO law for Parental Advisory CDs.....I'm gonna look into this, I hope this was just some weirdo working the counter, some misinformed weirdo.

Good times.

Oh, I did mention to the guy working the counter how I didn't feel bad about the thousands of songs I've stolen. Stupid industry.

And, they beefed up the Parental Advisory label too. Now it says, “Parental Advisory: Strong Language, Violence and Harsh Sexual Content” or something along those lines. What is this? System Of A Down: The movie now with animation! Jeez.....
