Holy shit! An article written for BBStoremgr112233

Wow, the first line made me think this was written just for our favorite forum corporate tool who only ever posts in the "Lovers of Blockbuster" sub-board!

Yep, that writer is so clever and brilliant that the only fact he tried to introduce to his comedic poke at Blockbuster, he negated with his only quote of the article.

What does Blockbuster, whose peak of 9,100 stores in 2004 have since dwindled to about 2,000, have to offer Dish Network, a satellite TV service?

A few things. Said Tom Cullen of Dish, "With its more than 1,700 store locations

Great writing! Would have been better if he just tried to be funny and left out any facts at all.

I actually enjoyed the article, horrid syntax and all (big surprise there, eh?)

Although #1 has already been done on YouTube, and #2 has been perfected in AD's neighbourhood

LOL are you seriously trying to discredit the author of an article based on that fact that "more than 1,700" is not quite the same thing as "about 2,000"?

you might be awesome at counting tills, but your argument sucks.
