i red the article, but... how is netflix suppose to make any money when the are FORCED (via contract/agreement) to advertise for walFart on their web site!

i'm sorry, but i'v NEVER seen where a company advertises DIRECTLY for their competitors for the EXACT same products that they are tyring to sell!!

wel-fare-mart-- always low wages-- ALWAYS!!

the article says:

..Despite its size and merchandising savvy, Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart couldn't overcome Netflix's head start in the rapidly expanding niche of online DVD rentals...

yea, right.. walfarts 'savy'.. completly fostering 'slave labor' in a commie country (who is becoming amerika's 'loan-shark' by buying our 'debt'), and selling the cheap-garbage in their commie looking stores, paying 'commie' wages to it's mostly 'disabled' and 'poor' (on welfare) workers!!

it couldn't 'compete', because wel-fare-mart DOESN'T compete, it only knows how to put (good) competition outa business like the other great ameriCAN't -- m$.

In other news....

Netflix development staff has now been replaced by poorly paid elderly people and downs syndrome kids working on adult assistance programs.

Moreover, users of Netflix.com will experience audio tracks which simulate an atmosphere consisting of rednecks beating their children and people buying firearms at 1am.

Also, Netflix.com be the first website to smell weird.
