Will Borders/B&N care if I try to buy an "EXPLICIT LYRICS" CD and I'm 16?

[St. Jarvitude]

I've never bought a CD before with the "PARENTAL ADVISORY" label on it... do they even bother enforcing the "rule"? Is it dependent on which particular store I go to (like with movie theatres)?

1. Just go to the clerk that is a young college student

Perhaps he/she will not care.

2. Nobody gives a shit about that friggin sticker.

3. I don't think "parental advisory" stickers require the buyer to be 18

But I don't know for sure. Try and see. What do you have to lose?

5. Was planning on trying it anyway.

I never really knew WTF those stickers meant anyway.

I just didn't want to end up being dumb and going "uhh" if there is some dumb 18+ rule and the clerk gets all snotty with me. I'd rather have some crafty response pre-planned, like "Oh crap, I left my driver's license in the car" or whatever.

7. I just asked my son and he bought one when he was 12

He said nobody questioned it.

4. I doubt they'll even notice it

6. All B&N cares about is whether you have the MONEY to

pay for the CD.

[Deja Q]

8. Just as corporate-owned media only cares about the MONEY made by such

music, whether it be music or filth.

It's all about money. The religious right can whine all they want, but until their own corporate constituents follow the same path, things will not change. (may be good or may not be. Depends... In the 60s, at least bad language was used in good taste. Today there (generally) seems to be little meaning behind the use of the words. But that's not a blanket statement...)

9. be careful though

Those are BAD words and they will damage your tiny little mind!

You can get pregnant that way too, you know! Yes, even if you're a guy!

10. It's not a legally enforceable thing like the movie ratings or cigarettes

So most retailers won't look twice at it or you.

[St. Jarvitude]

11. Movie ratings aren't law-enforcable

At least not in this state, they aren't.

Oh, and by the way, everything went smoothly until I got pulled over by a cop :eyes: But that's another story.
