Blockbuster

[wednes]

It is not secret to many of you that I used to work for Blockbuster. In fact, that's how I met my current roomate, uterdic and my great friend, lickingtoad . That said, Blockbuster is an evil company who doesn't give a rat's ass about their employees or the safety thereof. I quit working there after the district manager looked me straight in the face and denied making several of the horrible comments she made towards me.

Anyway...I have a strong dislike for Blockbuster, despite the fact that their low low prices on used DVD's bring me to them once every other month or so. Since I had a bit of money I went online to see if they were having one of those 2/$20 or 3/$25 sales I love so well. These sales coupled with the fact that they buy used DVD's from the public can make for some great opportunities indeed. People jonesing for new video games often sell great movies for cheap.

So...it turns out they are not having a sale.
It also seems that they have started a Netflix like service at the same damn price.
And that Viacom wants to dump them;
And they only made a profit once in the last five years...which is about the time I stopped working for them.

Blockbuster: I hate you.

And so does The Universe, it seems.

Yikes!

Indeed, there are plenty of reasons to dislike Viacom.
