Watch it!  Wherehouse Records and Video maintains a database of your
video rentals.  On the back of your membership agreement, in very
small type, it says, notwithstanding the appropriate federal and
state laws, The Wherehouse may sell this data for marketing and other
purposes.  It says you can opt out by telling the salesperson to 
so modify your records.  But if you don't see the small print, fat
chance for you.
