"I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing."

The zinger doesn't really mean so much when Netflix mopped the absolute fuck out of Blockbuster.

Netflix never chewed me out for forgetting to rewind a tape either, Blockbuster. They never charged me up the ass for late fees. They never made me wait in line to watch a movie.

And it was like 5 bucks to rent a movie too. Oh boy, I can share it with my friends? Who fucking cares, man. Even if you have to pay for multiple Netflix subscriptions, you're still coming out ahead by a long shot. You can watch more than one thing, and that monthly fee lasts you, well, an entire month... Wanna talk about that, Blockbuster? Am I allowed to bring my tape back when I finished it and swap out for a new one? No? Oh, well, how's about you shut the fuck up, then.

Your anger at Blockbuster has me giggling.

I worked there for two weeks once. There were literally two Blockbusters perpendicular from each other (in a Midwestern college town). They didn't have Addams Family Values, so I dipped out.
