Blockbuster has decided to place “signage” in its stores that will warn
customers of terrorist-themed movies and video games, in the wake of this
month’s attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
A press release
issued by the company on Tuesday did not spell out whether the warnings
would appear on a single sign in Blockbuster stores, on shelves, or on the
cassette and DVD boxes.
In a statement, Blockbuster chief John Antioco said:
“We know that there is heightened sensitivity to terrorist themes right now.
On the other hand, we do not want to pull product from our stores. We see
that as playing right into the hands of the people who would like to curtail
our freedoms in this country.”
