Well, it's hardly a 'wait'... it's only 2 weeks difference, Shipping would take longer, and be more expensive!

You know, the funny thing is that Canadians have to wait until the 26th of Sept. for TWAS.
Oh well, at least that day will be like Christmas.

Just a heads-up to the fellow Aussies out there that some JB Hi-Fi stores have already recieved their stock of The Weird Al Show and have already put it out on shelves rather than waiting til the 4th. I picked up my copy Thursday night after going in there on the offchance that this would happen. It's $29.98 and alas, the PG rating they have given it is not a removable sticker.
Interestingly enough, in the rating description, it reads:
Mild drug references,
Mild coarse language,
Mild themes and sexual references.
How they came to the conclusion of that, I've no idea!
It is probably worth noting that while this is a region 4 (Australian) release, it is still NTSC format, so be sure your TV is able to handle it. Most can, but if in doubt, be sure to keep your reciept!
I might also point out that it comes with a couple of promotional fridge magnets inside the case, which are advertised on the front as being included "For a limited time only!". Are they suggesting that after a couple of months they're going to rip the shrink-wrap off any unpurchased ones and take the magnets out?
In short (though it's a bit late now!
), check your local JB for their latest shipment. NOW!

Mild drug references,

Mild themes and sexual references.
Apparently the people who made that sticker are even more strict than CBS!

Yea, the drug reference thing probably had to do with the Back to School episode, when Al travels outside of his body.
