I'm 16. I buy all my DVD's online nowadays and a lot of them are "18" rated.

Nothing stops me from buying them - No spotty tvvat at the counter, No standerds agency. No-one.

So it begs the question - Do BBFC ratings actually mean anything? Yes I know ratings were put there to show the customer what is in the film and what they can expect. But, Why can I buy these films underage? Should'nt I be stopped and taken to the police?

Do BBFC ratings need to be scrapped all together?

I have noticed that I have no 18 rated DVDs in my collection even though I buy most over the net now. I think it's the point that I've never tried. If I can buy them because it want the film or series then I will but nothing has really caught my eye plus money must be saved. The ratings will not matter to me in just under two months though.
