Blockbuster going under

[JonnyHungwell]

The cunts should have hired xxx - that's what they get for being moralising bastards.

If the business model isn't viable with the best that Hollywood has to offer I don't think xxx would have made an appreciable difference.

No it wouldn't, but I never liked them from the off for refusing to stock porn in their US outlets. Plus they were so powerful they used their influence to get movies specially censored before they'd stock it - and many studios were only too happy to comply, when a Blockbuster placing of the movie brought in a lot of cash.

The only thing I'm surprised at is they didn't go out of business 5 years ago.

Your'e not bitter by any chance then Johnny? !happy!

This means more people out of work and less people to pay for porn.

At least you know where your taxes are going then.

I feel sorry for Bob Holness.

Back to playing James Bond for him then.

I worked for them 12 years ago 'in between jobs', it was a small shop so I didn't have to put up with 'team leaders' enforcing promotional gubbins constantly, which was a good job cos they were paying me a meagre ?3 an hour. I enjoyed though, but primarly cos I was left to my devices, it was 5 minutes from my house (in a good area) and I could serve customers whilst listening to my cd's instead of the latest 'BEN' video (the promotional tapes for Blockbuster Entertainment Network pushing all the new releases).
Working a 6 hour saturday evening shift for ?18 was not cool tho, and they generally got what they paid for, most of the full time staff they employed were as thick as two short planks and just as pretty
