Not every CD has an "explicit" and an "edited" version. If I were looking for a Wu-Tang album, I'd be on the watch for "edited," but it's not an expectation I had for JT. Additionally, like tuna fish (which comes in oil, or in water) peanut butter is clearly labeled as chunky or smooth - the CD was labeled, but not conspicuously - it is an easy (and honest) mistake to make, and one towards which both employees were sympathetic. <BR/><BR/>My indignation is directed toward the copyright law, not the store's policy, which they undoubtedly would've bent were it not for the threat of a $10,000 fine.
