Americans Keep It Classy

Americans keep it classy... as far as aesthetics are concerned. About a week ago, I had the unfortunate mishap of ordering from B68 Solutions Limited on Amazon. The reason I say unfortunate is because B68 tried to get away with shipping me the international version of a movie on Blu-ray Disc.

The problem with DVDs and Blu-ray Discs from Europe, is that the placement of the rating is ugly. There is no aesthetic vision when it comes to the placement. Just look how it stands out on my bookshelf:

Notice the gaudy rating symbols on the spine. And it just gets worse from here. Now let's look at the disc itself, as well as the plastic case:

Horrible placement. Garbage all over the case and on the disc. I've ordered a replacement directly from Amazon and will be returning this eyesore. Since the replacement hasn't arrived yet, I don't have a North American copy to show you, so I choose another movie instead just for comparison purposes.

And where is the rating you my ask? It's neatly on the back, out of obstruction so you can admire the beauty of minimalism. Back cover, bottom right is the U.S. rating, and bottom left is the Canadian rating. Not all over the front, back, and disc like it is in Europe!

UPDATE (Sept. 16):
My replacement from Amazon arrived so I can show you a true comparison between the North American and International version of the movie. As you can see in one of the photos below, besides the gaudy ratings, the case is also slightly thicker. This causes the backlash of running out of space on the shelf.
