DDR, AMC and irony

I had a couple of hours to kill Saturday night, so I decided to check out a DDR machine in my city that I hadn't played yet: the MAX2 at the AMC-24 movie theater near the OSU campus.

I got to the theater, and I was all prepared to tell the ticket-taker guy that I just wanted to play games, and I was ready for an argument. But here's how the conversation went:

ME (conversationally): Still got that DDR machine here?
TICKET GUY: No, it's gone.
ME (surprised): Really?? Why?
TICKET GUY: Apparently there was some song titles with swear words in them.
ME: So you play R-rated movies, but you don't like song titles with swear words?
TICKET GUY: I guess.

Anyway, it cracked me up the more I thought about it. In case you don't know, there is only one song on that mix with a swear word in the title, and that is "One Two (Blow My Whistle *****)." No, it's not the most family-friendly title, but then again, this is the same theater that will show the most horrible violence and foulest language on any given day. And the machine was in the same hallway that boasts many posters featuring people with guns, bloody knives, and titles like "Snatch," and "The Spy Who Shagged Me."

Conclusion: People who complain are stupid, and corporate decision-makers are even stupider.

That's kind of interesting, actually. There is nothing in DDRMAX2 that has a bad word in the title, INCLUDING 'The Whistle Song'. B**** was switched to Baby in the song itself, but the title is still 'The Whistle Song'. Nothing bad about that in and of itself. It's just the innuendo in the song that may have gotten it booted.

As a matter of fact, I think there has only been two songs with a 'bad' word (in DDRs history) on the song placard itself ('Little B****' and 'One, Two: Little B****').

Thats strange, and kinda funny. Aren't all ddr games rated E. They should be more alert to people saying pad words then a game.
