I was wandering around Grace Brothers (the retailer) yesterday. Grace Bros stock quite a few 'R' rated movies; ie various kung fu movies and titles such as "Hard to Kill". With the Internet there are faxing facilities. I would point out that under this paragraph it would be illegal for me to fax Grace Bros requesting a copy of any of the "R" rated movies they routinely stock. The "R" rated category is not a category that falls within the 'semi legal'. They have been _approved_ by an arm of the government as being suitable for adults. These recommendations are ludicrous in the extreme.
