Billing 18 Rated

How do 18 rated movies show up on the bill ? If I rented one I'd expect a bit of discretion.
I guess this pair were hoping for the same.

They get listed as 'Additional feature'. (Apparently )

Re: Billing 18 Rated

Which means a wife or parents won't find out...until they query the bill with CS at the end of the month for being so high with "additional features" on it :p

I'm imagining some rather prim and proper wife ringing CS to complain that she never had this "additional feature", and demanding to know what it is and then being told the name of the rental.

Who's to say husbands and wives don't watch good pornos together?

"Additional feature", could well be the name of the movie in question!

Re: Billing 18 Rated

I remember a few years back a company set up quite a neat scam (although I am not condoning scamming in any way).

They set up a porn website, with paid for membership. They then overcharged each customer's credit card using a name that was really obviously porn (I think their name actually inluded the word "porn").

Apparently very few people queried it with their banks/credit card companies (presumably either because it was embarassing to do so, or they'd risk being found out by their other half).
