When I went and bought the new album last week

[HEIRESS]

the 19 year old fag behind the counter gave me a face and was like "you realize this is a purely instrumental album with no rapping right"

and I was all "uhhhhhhhhhhh.........yes"

and then he was like "yeah cause alot of people dont realize that and then dont end up wanting the album"

and I was all "they are old and their rhymes are gay now and I can only hope this is equal to or greater than 'the in sound from the way out' released in 1996"

and then he tried to drag me into a conversation about the bboys "hard core days" but the high shine eminating from his overly waxed/puttied coiffure outdid mine so I high tailed it outta there.

:/

I went to see Life Is Beautiful in the theater after it had been nominated for a bunch of oscars. When I bought my ticket, the guy behind the counter said "you should know that it's not in English" and I said "it's Italian," and he said "it's got subtitles" and I said "good" and he said that a lot of people want their money back when they find out it has subtitles. :rolleyes: That should tell you a lot about where I live.

!: "Yerrhh! Probbaly! AHAH!!"

When I bought the album the lady just smiled and took my money.

Makes sense.

[TurdBerglar]

i couldn't work at a record store. i would be so irritated with the fuckheads buying what i would consider shit music.

[Randetica]

i could buy a best of europe album and no one would give a fuck

No kidding.

I went to buy The Mix Up CD and the dude ringing me up looked at it then at me then said, Uhhhh.... you know this isn't the new Transformers movie, right?"

I gasped and apologized for my mistake.

The same thing happened to Brett when he was in HMV last week. Some guy warned him that it was instrumental, so he just replied "I know," paid, and left.

:rolleyes: OMG NO RAP ON THIS ALBUM WATCH OUT! (!)

[DroppinScience]

Yeah, I couldn't believe that guy said it, but I'm sure they're obligated to warn people because there truly is a LOT of dumb people in this world.

On another related note, when I went to see "The Good German" (the one with George Clooney), the box office lady actually said: "You DO know it's in black & white, right?"

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

when i worked at a movie theater, lets see this was summer of 04, some movie came out... i really wish i could think of it. i think it was a kids/family movie... it had something to do with airplanes and it looked very 1950's-ish. the color was filtered somehow to give it an old/neato look, but it definitely had color. once the movie started some people actually walked out and asked for refunds because the movie was "in black and white" or "looked weird"

that same summer some chinese movie came out and i heard people bitching that it wasnt dubbed in english, so im sure we had to give some refunds over that too.

the salespeople may sound silly for telling you, but it saves them grief later on from idiots that dont know what they're getting themselves into.

When I bought Beyonce's last album, the smart ass behind the counter asked if it was for my girlfriend, so I told him I was gay...I'm not.

You're referring to "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" and they did it in a sepia tone.

But that's fucked up people thought it was "black and white" or "looked weird." Maybe some beginning sequences were black and white, but that was very brief. I really hate people for being so ignorant because a film is subtitled/black&white or whatever the case may be.

I know the people are doing the warnings because it's inevitable some moron will get offended, but it's sad that they actually have to warn people. It reflects poorly on the public at large. :(

The problem is your not mixxing it up right.

Bring The Mixup to the counter then say Where is Wasp's Animal(Fuck like a Beast)

the conversation of the Mixup suddenly shifts to polar opposites

[Parkey]

The lack of vocals brought Fopp (http://www.fopp.co.uk/down.html) down...

[Lo_Lyfe]

I went back to the record store and said "There seems to have been some kind of MIX-UP, there are no vocals on this record..."

I crack myself up. I might post that in BG

I'd think the thing to do is post signs at the box office and on the entrance doors. I'd rather deal with a few refunds because someone didn't read the signs than just presume that each ticket buyer was ignorant.

That being said, maybe some people used it as an excuse for a Sky Captain refund because the movie was just so awful... :D
