one feature that blockbuster video never did have as opposed to the, you know, the more fable mom and pop video stories is like the little separated by a curtain closet area with the pornography in, you know, so like, I can just run it, I'll just, I'll just have my laptop in there and it's just like, you know, if you're over 18, just go click around on my desktop, you'll find it. We never had the porn section in video stores here, but I wonder if that's because we just have in Canberra where all of the clowns go to Congress was also like also one of the one of the places where it was just like legal to buy porn.

So in an industrial area of town, there's also all of these like massive blockbuster sized porn stores. So you could go in and browse the many thousands of video tapes of porn. You didn't have to have to go into the little back room of the blockbuster. You could just go to the big porn buster. Yeah, like I'd like to become like one of those snotty video store got clerks or whatever, but only for pornography. So like, you know, like some like horny teenage boy will come in and be like, do you have

anything with Jenna Jamison? And I'm like, yeah, if you've never fucking seen a porn before, man, are you going to be like, come on, this is the green door, it'll change your life. Yeah, exactly. This is back when they shot it on film and then the people doing it, the people doing it were like, you know, non consensual, what are you afraid of? A little body hair referring to implants as bad special effects. I'd be like, I could technically get arrested for letting you rent this Tracy Lord's VHS,

but you know, it'll change your life. Are you suggesting a garden state instead of the shins? It's porn. Yes. See, we don't need, we don't need the Felix's and the Milo's and the Ben's. Nope, you don't need those guys. Get those ball hogs out of here.
