    Tales From Retail Hell

    An EB Games employee known only as DC has whipped up a really great webcomic about the trials and tribulations of working at one of the world's largest game retailers. The art style is simple and cute and the story is dead on.

    The first episode, appropriately titled "Rated M: for Moron", pits our intrepid clerk against a botox toting soccer mom and her little brat over a copy of GTA. I'm sure this scene will be familiar to anyone who sells games, music or works in a movie theater where they are constantly barraged with clueless parents who insist on treating their kids to entertainment that is well beyond their age limit. These are the same parents who will then turn around and cry blue murder about how the video game industry needs to exercise more control over it's violent content.

    DC's reaction to the situation captures perfectly the frustration I'm sure a lot of us feel when we watch one of these morons drag their screaming five year olds and infants into the Silent Hill movie so they can all watch Pyramid Head rip the skin off a naked girl together. (Yes, that really happened to me) Great family quality entertainment.
