I think they have special music at the store South goes into when he walks in.

Seriously if he said he did this. He sure as hell did. This is the man that walks around atlanta with a 100% Negro teeshirt on.

if someone is in a video store, then chances are they are not a big internet porn person two different type of customer.Video store porn is dying and its not going to get better,why leave the home when you can get it online and most of the stuff that comes to the porn stores is the same old tired crap.To see whats out there I will rent a few of the avn top ten and most of it is crap,the girl clearly is there to pay the rent and it shows. Also gas prices effect sales, to the guy making 500 a week, paying 60 bucks to fill up hurts. If the choice is watching porn or going to work, work wins.

hell, does anyone under 35 rent or buy dvd's anymore?

any time we ever did the feature shows or dvd store signings we never saw anyone under 35, it was all older guys that grew up on vhs and moved to dvd, very rarely did we see the younger crowd showing up
