Movie theatres Carding is good!
Seen any good movies lately? Well I recently saw a rated R movie and before purchasing the ticket they had to see my I.D. I noticed that a couple kids who were seing the movie got kicked out because they were under the age of 17 which is the minimum age you have to be in order to see a rated R movie in the united states. I have a friend who works at the movie theatre Rave motion pictures in Peoria and she comments a lot on how much people complain about having to get carded. She tells me a lot of people hate the fact that they have to prove that they are 17. And while they think it is a hassle and a waste of time I think that it is a great law that the movie theatres need to keep sticking too. I believe that by carding it keeps kids from seeing material that is not appropriate for them. For example; in the movie Zombieland (which is rated R) they showed nudity and it seemed like they used foul language every other word. Carding also helps the parents of the kids who are underage keep track of them and make sure they aren’t doing anything that their parents wouldn’t approve of. Even though it is a annoying to always have your I.D. ready to show I think that it is something that is very effective and helpful for both the movie theatre industry and the parents of the kids who are trying to get into movies they aren’t supposed to be seeing.
