Ticketmaster.

Sounds like you may get your wish. Although when reading about their demise, it's hard to fathom how such a sleazy company could be losing millions. Are they not charging enough fees or rerouting enough tickets through brokers?

Coming soon, an additional charge for simply emailing YOU the tickets so YOU can print them.

Oh wait, they already have that.

I don't wish for the WNBA to go away, but it will probably die quietly in the next two years.

I find that a bit sad.

RadioShack. Horrible place to shop, horrible place to work.

I would say Circuit City but that wish already came true.

I don't find it sad at all. David Stern subsidized the league in order to drive under the EXISTING women's professional basketball league (ABL).

What movies are you trying to rent online? I've got Blockbuster's faux Netflix and have yet to encounter a movie they didn't have. And I watch some obscure shit.

If by "faux" you mean "foe", I am aware. I dumped Blockbuster and got Netflix a couple months ago. I got pissed at Blockbuster because I had Seasons 1 and 2 of Robin Hood (British show on BBC), The Man Show Season 2, The 4400 Season 1, and a few other TV shows on my list and watched as they stayed on "Very Long Wait" for months. I checked Netflix and they all were immediately available. That's all it took to sell me.

Also, if I turned in a mailed dvd to the store, it might be 5 or 6 days until I got another one in the mail. With Netflix, I drop it off at the post office in the morning on my way home from work on a Monday, I have a new dvd in the mail on Wednesday. Much better service and a shit ton cheaper.

Blockbuster AND Hollywood can both kiss my big hairy ass.

Not Quizno's, because I like their sandwiches. But definitely the ad company that came up with their new commercial about the decidedly phallic-shaped sangwich, and the oven makes the sangwich maker talk sexy. It's highly disturbing. :lol"Put it in me, Scott." :lol

Not only that but did you notice that while the guy is holding the sandwich the only 4 letters you can see on the phallic sandwich are "pedo".
