6. Check this out ..
For giggles I wanted to see what they had to offer. Well, so much for their "values" (and I'm not talking prices). These are their "TEEN" comedies ...

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product_listing.gsp?cat=95752&path=0%3A5430%3A95740%3A95752

Hmmm. ... half of them are rated "R" ...

And here's a classic:

Wal-Mart: The definition of integrity. Won't sell you an un-edited rap album, but will rent you a movie with graphic rape scenes ...

8. They are trying to run Netflix out of business
Edited on Sun Aug-08-04 04:34 PM by VoteDemocratic2004
I keep getting emails from Walmart to join their club but I am not going to change from Netflix to Walmart.

Walmart's tactics are to run small businesses out of business and now they want to put Netflix out of business.

I am staying with Netflix.

10. Me, too! I LOVE Netflix
They have a huge gay & lesbian selection (which you can't find here in darkest south Mississippi).

12. I am on a 2 1/2 month vacation (Not by choice)
I have the 5 DVDs at a time plan and I go to the new movie section and pick what sounds good.

15. Yeah, one of the best. I just love Netflix.com.
I have been with them from the start, no Blockbusters and their family values here.

13. Are you getting emails from Walmart?
It could be that they have gotten a hold of Netflixs email list and they are taking their customers away.

14. Stop promoting this evil empire...
plus, of course, they are big Bush supporters so your money is helping the Repugs. Not to mention the unfair worker practices, money from local stores not filtered back into local communities, tax payers end up paying more due to rising health costs (they don't insure), etc.

Just evil...
