no we don't have King Kong!

at the library we often have little kids ask us if we have such-and-such movie, one that is still playing in the theater (like Chicken Little for example). i don't mind these questions at all. we all think they are kind of cute, coming from a 5, 6, or 7 year old who does not know the ways of Hollywood. we always answer patiently, something along the lines of "no, i'm sorry. if the movie is still playing in the theater, we won't have the DVD for a long while." kids are smart (some of them) and they get it.
adults who do this just piss me off.
30-something man: "do you have King Kong?"
me: "do you want the one with Fay Ray or the 1980's version?"
man: "no, i want the NEW one...the 2005 DVD."
me: er....*??* "the one that's playing at the movies?"
man: "yeah, that one."
me: "NO! we DO NOT have it on DVD as it still playing in the theater (you fucking moron!)"
c'mon people! are you that freakin' stupid?
