The Kernel Of Truth

Conversation overheard at Gamestop

  • Mom: It's rated M, I just wanted to see how bad the sex is in the game.
  • Cashier: Well it's one of the more violent games out right now. Like chainsawing people in half and watching them get ripped apart on screen.
  • Mom: But no sex, right? No kissing or anything? Any language?
  • Cashier: No, no sex, and the language isn't anything worse than the s-word.
  • Mom: Okay, because it's for my five year old so I just wanted to make sure. That's fine then.
  • I DO NOT FUCKING UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK IS APPROPRIATE IN THIS COUNTRY. Chainsawing people in half is fucking fine, but God forbid he should hear a dirty word or see people kiss.
  • I really need to understand the logic behind "Watch all the death, but no depictions of love allowed."
