You are a 14 year old boy living in a town in the UK, you recently moved to a new area and there is a shop near you called SPAR. You have now lived in this area for a time (say 6 months) and you have rented many video's from the shop, now you go over and decide to rent a DvD, they have only recently got DvD's there. You decide to get Spy Kids 2 (stupid I know but I just wanted to see it) so I get that and a few other things and go to the till. 'You can't get that untill your 18' I hear. I was like what? 'Your not alowed to get that untill your 18.' This film is a PG, and I am not allowed to rent it untill I am 18. I just said 'Oh cancel the other things then' and walked out. Is that fair? I can see the film when it comes out, I can buy it, but I can't rent it untill I am 18?

You have to be 18 to rent Spy Kids?

Well, at Wal-Mart here, I had to show my driver's license to buy Monty Python and the Holy Grail....

The guy at the register should be knighted for protecting you from an Antonio Banderas movie. You owe him a debt of gratitude.

Ask your uncle if you can borrow his 'special' tapes he keeps up in the drop ceiling.

Well.... it might not be a question of fairness or movie content.... That shopkeeper just doesn't want people under 18 renting dvds. It's a new item for them, and they don't want kids tearin' them up.

Life isn't fair sometimes. I'd find a new video store.

Why don't you go ahead and pack up and move on over to the U.S. We'll sell you cigarettes AND Spy Kids. Feelin' dirty?

Well, apparently you have a computer. So go to NetFlix, type in your address, and be a rebel. Click on Spy Kids and say loudly:

Yes, I am renting Spy Kids, for I am a breaker of the rules. I am a PG watching criminal.

I've never seen either f the Spy Kids movies...


But I heard that Cheech was in them.





So replace Antonio B. with Thomas Chong....they might be worth watching.
