I have an Oz obsession. I love the HBO show so much that I decided to finally buy the last season today. A few days ago it was $47+ in Futureshop/Bestbuy. When I saw that they had it on sale again for $21.99, I decided to buy it before Futureshop decides to change the price on me again. When I checked it out to the cashier, the male cashier looked at me kinda funny. I said ‘what?’. I thought he looked at me because Oz is not exactly rated G tv show. It has naked men, violence, sex and drugs. So what would a woman like me doing buying/watching a show like this? But no. That was not the reason why he looked at me funny. He said that when he scanned the Season 6 dvd, the screen prompted a message stating that if the buyer appears to look under 25, they have to ask for an ID to show that the buyer is over 18 years of age since the DVD is rated R. I was a little surprised. I haven’t been carded for a long time. The only time I was carded was when I looked young to buy a drink. Ever since then I haven’t been carded for years! I wasn’t offended or anything. I just found it funny how they would check ID on people who purchase rated R DVDs. I don’t know if it’s because I bought Oz or what. But apparently they card people on games that are I guess deemed too violent for kids. But this isn’t the first time I had bought an Oz dvd. In fact I already have seasons 1 through 5 and none of them have carded me in the past. Four out of the five was from Futureshop. Maybe they just didn’t bother… I’m not too sure..
