Score one for blue corp. vs. red corp - Netflix takes over WalMart Rentals

[fryguy]

Netflix (72% blue rating, see http://www.buyblue.org) will be taking over WalMart's (22% blue rating) DVD rental business . . . Its minor victory, but anytime the evil retail empire blinks or takes a hit is worth noting . . .
:woohoo:

ANGELES (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, on Thursday said it was closing its online DVD rental business and would direct its customers to Netflix Inc., the company that pioneered online rentals.

1. Now, if they could just absorb Blockbusters on-line rental biz, I'd

be really psyched :).

This is a good start though.

2. Gee, you listen to Repukes and you would think that left-leaning

companies/people have no business sense at all . . .

Here, a blue-leaning company has been kicking Wallyworld's ass!

3. Those darn Californians

think they can take over everything

4. Yes, but aren't they still promoting Wal-Mart?

If so, it's time to cancel that Netflix subscription.
