[Caution]

1. It's more likely that netflix bought advertising

from a company that drudge uses. Internet advertising is rarely bought from a specific site. Check out the way google does it's advertisements or most blogs for example.

2. Netflix is a big Repug donor

:grr:

3. They give more to Democrats than Republicans, according to Buy Blue

Hastings Donates $200k for California Special Election

According to the LA Times, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings was one of the larger donors supporting a possible special election:

Reed Hastings, chairman of the movie rental company Netflix, reported Monday that he gave $200,000 to support the proposal to redraw legislative boundaries — an idea opposed by Democrats, who control the Legislature, and by many Republican legislators. Hastings said in an e-mail that he gave the money in hopes that the measure would open the way for the election of more moderate legislators.

5. Actually, they are 72% blue

Hey stick with true Republican donating and thief Blockbuster if you want.


Local video stores (non-chain owned) are okay too I guess, problem is that still requires using gas and meeting return deadlines-not to mention for someone like myself who likes foreign films they are near impossible to find at the local plces.

11. No, it's one of the few Blue companies out there

I think their CEOs (if it hasn't been sold in the past year) give only to Democrats, while the company itself donates over 70% to Dems.

Netflix also heavily promotes liberal documentaries on it's site.

12. Nonsense. They're headquartered in a sea of blue.

Not only are their recorded campaign contributions 3-to-1 blue, but they're on Universtiy Avenue in Los Gatos/San Jose ... a virtual ocean of blue. (That's an easy bike ride from where I lived last.)

4. Don't look at it - use a hosts file if using Windows

http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

I use it and when I go to Drudge all I see is "Support The DrudgeReport; Visit Our Advertisers " Sorry Matt!

[Connie_Corleone]

6. Thanks for reminding me to join Netflix.

That was one of the things I wanted to do this year.

[Squatch]

8. No.

You do realize how stupid you look posting this, right? I mean, you should probably stick to posting in the Lounge or coming up with another infantile chemtrail theory. The only person who could be even more dumb is your mother, for letting you live long enough to post this trip on DU. In fact, I should just kill you myself. I bet you're one of the Bushitler gang, aren't you. Some shill for the GOP to disrupt this fine forum. Goddamned Marylanders...only thing they're good for is...well, not a damned thing. Have a nice day.

9. Did you notice that the original poster of that thread was joking?

Read the whole thing, especially Roon's replies.


Jesus no wonder the pukes can spin circles around us so easily.

Thank you for restoring some of my faith in DU. :yourock:

15. Most of us on this thread were responding to wakeme2008. NT

[noahmijo]

22. I wasn't talking about those of US who responded to wakeme

I was one of those too :)

[tritsofme]

10. So does AT&T

begin the boycott!

[Javaman]

17. Netflix is a fools folly, it will be dead within 3 years.

Once the iPod gets more content (movies), netflix will be a thing of the past.

[RebelOne]

20. I seriously doubt it.

[RebelOne]

18. Oh, come on, NetFlix advertises everywhere.

And I am not about to ditch them. I am quite happy with their service.

[Touchdown]

21. I rent from DVD Empire.

They're only out of Pennsylvania, but if you live near there, then your rentals should arrive pretty quick.

23. That's because you're a communist who hates Jesus

just admit it dude. :silly:

[Touchdown]

24. I do.

Jesus was my ex-boyfriend, and he wouldn't ever cook me his Mom's enchalada recipe. I had to throw him to the curb!

[Midlodemocrat]

29. Ha. Vash!

That'll teach you to post jokes in GD.
