I had a customer today complain about the content of "The Departed," saying it was too explicit and violent.

I recommended Borat.

You might actually work that into your register conversation. Observe:

Cust: Hello, I needed to speak to you about The Departed. It was much too violent and had too much foul language.
johnlow71: I'm so sorry to hear that, how may I fuck you to make this better?
Cust (doesn't believe she heard that, presses on): I would like to exchange this for something less violent and vulgar.
johnlow71: Though I can't do this often, I will fuck you this one time, to keep a valued customer. Would you like to try Facing the Giants?


and so on...

johnlow71 (as customer leaves): Fuck you! Come again!

I thought Ursula was the octopus thing?

Ursula comes in as a brunette human girl, just as Ariel and Eric are about to fall in love (while Ariel is mute from Ursula's spell). Eric fell in love with Ariel's voice, and when the "new & improved" Ursula comes to Eric, she's using Ariel's voice. At the ship's wheel, Eric and Ursula (as the brunette) are about to exchange vows, until Ariel gets her voice back. In anger, Ursula goes back to her natural state (as the sea witch/octopus) and proceeds to rain hell on everyone, until King Neptune shows up.

...whew!

Here's the questionable poster everyone's talking about



and an extreme close up.



Funny thing is, if you look closesly, all the other pipes on the castle have a pointed tip, while that is the only one with a round tip.

And while I'm posting dirty pictures from Disney movies, here's the word sex apearing in the Lion King



And a legitimate photo of a naked woman that apeared in the Rescuers.



There's lots of really interesting stuff on this site http://www.snopes.com/disney/

Have any of you ever actually snapped at a customer for saying something or being a bitch?

Beyond the recesses of my interior monologue, no.

However, I have calmly brought a few people "back to earth," as it were.

Observe:

Cust: Which is better: Talladega Nights, or The Prestige? I already have The Departed here, so which would go better with it?

Me: Okay, let's mull it over: you have the NASCAR comedy with Sacha Baron Cohen as a gay, French, Formula One driver who replaces Will Ferrell on his own team; OR, you could go with the drama about the magician whose tricks are real, and the man pursuing him in order to find out how he does it. The Prestige also has Christian Bale, Sir Michael Caine, and David Bowie, along with Scarlett Johansson.

Cust: (slaps self in forehead) Of course! It was right there the whole time!

Later at the counter...

Me (in disbelief): Okay, so that was The Departed and Talladega Nights....
