Title: must be 17 to buy the mlp dvd?! really?! XD
Post by: Varkolak on January 24, 2012, 09:18:36 PM: i was looking on walmart's website tonight and saw the new FIM dvd is available to pre-order and they have a warning tagged under it saying "not rated, warning, this product may contain mature material, you must be 17 years old to buy this dvd" or something along those lines. LOL really walmart?! really?! what could these ponies POSSIBLY be doing!?

I'm guessing anything that doesn't carry a theatrical rating by the MPAA is automatically tagged on their site as possibly containing mature content.

Post by: StarLite on January 24, 2012, 10:36:17 PM: Clearly it's because of all the horrific violence and adult sexual themes present in the series.

I think TV shows are just released without a rating on DVD sometimes. Powerpuff Girls carries the television rating of TV-Y7 but on the DVD box it says not rated.

Post by: ZettaMomo on January 25, 2012, 06:08:42 PM: Lol! I remembering hearing this before.

I am just wondering the thoughts of the person WalMart had set up this item on their site
"Hmmmm... *looking over case* Well there is no rating... so it may be inappropriate... But I won't check and just put it as NR-17. Yep. Sounds good"

Post by: Mermaid on January 25, 2012, 07:36:07 PM: That is so silly! But as others said I think it has to do with the non rating system!
