censored by Blockbuster?

Given that this film has very recently been released on DVD, I am curious as to whether the long-standing rumours regarding Blockbuster's alleged censorship of movies (a la Walmart) are applicable to this release.

SPOILER alert (sort of...)

The trailers that are included with the DVD show a couple of scenes that "make sense", but that were not in the film.First there is a clip where Olaf's young friend makes a remark to him about him no longer being a virgin, and second, there is a quick clip of Olaf and Ellen making love in the rain, with him pleading, "teach me, teach me".I can assure you that neither scene was in the DVD -- but around the time they would have been applicable, there were several moments that were sort of "herky-jerky", and seemed to skip ahead into the scene.


What also seemed strange is that Blockbuster marked the film as "Youth Restricted", but what was shown in the movie was incredibly tame, i.e., there was nary a nipple even shown.

So my question is, did anybody else notice this?Or did I just happen to get a DVD that just happened to be "smudged" at the only sexy scenes in the movie?
