Wal-Mart Enters NetFlix's Business

wcbrown writes "AP reports that Wal-Mart is entering into the online DVD rental arena, currently dominated by Netflix. Wal-Mart is starting out with 13,000 titles, six distribution centers, and competitive pricing. With a seriously tremendous infrastructure and expansive will, Wal-Mart stands poised to overtake Netflix. To say the least, that's not going to be good for business."

    ...why don't more people reply to my constant messages about how glorious Jennifer Connolly's huge jugs are? Don't you guys like them? What about you geek girls? Don't you sometimes enjoy a little "finger fun" when you see a Connolly photo layout in Women's Day or Redbook or Cosmopoliton?

    These services are great. But there is so little worth seeing. I barely watch TV anymore for the same reason.

    Two innocent bystanders dead in Gaza from an Apache gunship shooting at a Hamas hero. Today six more brave fighters slaughtered by US equipment paid for by the US taxpayers.
    When will the international community rise up against this disgusting ficticious country of Israel and drive those criminals into the sea? That terrorist Sharon in up to his neck with the blood of innocents he has killed. How much longer can we sit by and watch these Jewish outrages occur??

    Wal-Mart is a compny run by religious zealots that epitomizes everything that's wrong with the US. They can eat me. I haven't been in a Wal-Mart in years. Those sick Christian right-wing fucks don't get my business. Although, it is a good place to go to drunk to laugh at the Nascar-related merchandise and the cretins buying it. I never get an opportunity to see people like that otherwise.

    When will the international community rise up against the filthy country of Israel and drive those criminal scum into the sea?

    I believe I can answer this question for you. The international community will do exactly as you say when they begin to care about the people in the middle east. They will begin to care about the people in the middle east when they become known for something better than strapping explosives to themselves and killing civilians.

    As it stands right now a good portion of the world thinks you are all a bunch of savages who enjoy nothing more than struggle and are not worth saving. And you guys are not doing anything to prove them wrong.
