Blockbuster Goes with Humanity like Oil and Water

A recent Blockbuster commercial (seen for the first time tonight) talks
about we're only human, so we go to the movie rental house that
understands we're only human.

Blockbuster has done everything in its power to rip money out of our
hands, to control everything we do relative to movies outside of the
theatre, and they have the nerve to claim to be related to humanity.
Don't buy into it, please! They are exhibiting all the signs of a giant
about to expire, and they're not sure how the rug got ripped out from
under them.

I agree completely. Poor ol' Blockbuster. They might have been the first to the table with video rentals, but they severely miscalculated and decided there was no need to change their business model until, alas, it was too late. It was pretty hilarious when they unveiled their "no more late fees" campaign, which really did still have late fees. Stiff ones. I give their brick & mortar stores two more years before they all become fast food locations.
