we go to blockbuster every single saturday. saturday is our movie night where we eat pizza rolls on a blanket in the living room and we let the girls pick out a movie for them, and rick and i get one for us. the girls take turns each week, and every week when we go there with whichever one, for MONTHS now, we have to pass this hideous poster:
seriously.... right under Thumbelina and Bolt. no joke.
shiloh always gets upset when we see it and i try to avoid it as best as i can, but they LOVE going to pick out their own movies! we've resorted to most times, just going straight to their kids' movie aisle and then to the checkout and then leaving, but then they don't get to look at any of the new kids' releases.
i hate this! and then, on the way to the checkout, they get to see this:
the latest issue of MAXIM! granted, it's not on the bottom shelf, but it's right next to the friggin M&Ms!!i get that they have a lot of teenaged boys coming in to rent video games and that they're into this sort of thing. but would they be into it if it wasn't splashed all over the place?
do my kids have to see blood and gore and be afraid every time we want to go rent a new Dora movie? come on!!
*sigh*.... anyway. i'm gearing up to the point where i might complain or shop elsewhere.
and those are my grievances against blockbuster.
