I signed up for a membership with Family Video, our local video rental store in Ripon, Wiscosnin; however, unbeknownst to me they rent porn…soft porn. Porn is porn in my book regardless if it is soft or hardcore.
Upon signing up for the membership, the salesperson offered to show me around the store and the areas and features they have with the membership. I said they did not need to and that I was familiar with video rentals. I guess I should have taken them up on this offer. Had I known they rented porn, I would have taken my business somewhere else.
Over the past month, I have rented a few movies here and there. My initial impression of the store layout is disturbing to me and this is before I knew there was a porn section. All of there ”New Releases” are on the outside wall going around the store; and mixed within these movies is a good percentage that display horror or graphic images not suitable for young children, as well as, overtly-sexual movies (not porn but still not suitable for children)!
Not until this evening did I find out that they rented porn. I was in the store tonight looking for a film to rent when I saw a younger couple trying to get another couple there were with, into this area back by the bathrooms. I could here some squiking hinges from two swinging doors where I was and was curious. I walked around the corner to find that there was this porn section hidden in the back of the store. I immediately walked out of the store and will not return. Family Video will not see anymore business from me.
Merriam-Webster’s defines the word “Oxymoron” as something (as a concept) that is made up of contradictory or incongruous elements (i.e. Family Video). It is disgraceful that a company can have in there business name the word “family” yet still distribute pornographic materials.
STOP Renting movies with Family Video as they distribute and sell pornographic material.
