Blockbuster

So, Blockbuster has forgone late fees. Now, if you keep your video over
the two weeks, the video is yours -- at full retail price. Thank you so
much, Blockbuster. How kind of you. Oh, they will take the video back
for some kind of hefty fee.

Remember, less is more.

Still on the Blockbuster tirade, now they're looking to take over
Hollywood Video. What a sad day that will be, should it come to pass.
Blockbuster is a dying giant, and they want to destroy as many people as
they can. Does Hollywood Video pose that much of a threat to
Blockbuster? Here in Houston, Blockbuster stores outnumber Hollywood
Video stores about 3 to 1, at least that I can see. The workers at
Hollywood Video seem to be nicer; maybe that's what it is. Blockbuster
reminds me of a small-town beauty queen who moves to the big city and
finds out she can't really compete any more, so she turns outwardly mean
and nasty (she was always mean and nasty, but she's showing her true
colors now).

Remember, more is less.
