Dear Netflix,

No matter how many web ads you buy, no matter how many TV ads you buy, no matter how many print ads you slip into magazines, no matter how many times your pop up ad pops up, we will never ever ever EVER subscribe to your service.


We hate your ads, we hate hearing your stupid name become a verb, and we'd like to shove a VHS tape up your queue. Leave us alone and shit can the pop up ads because every time we close one of them it pushes us further away from your lame ass company.


Sincerely,
Everybody who uses the internet and is not a Netflix subscriber


PS: We mean it.

I understand your point, but I love my Netflix. Their advertising sucks, but I do like the service. Just thought I would say this.

I'm with you! We go to our neighborhood movie store guy. He runs a great shop and really caters to the neighborhood's taste. I even made a facebook group for him. That kind of movie store is hard to find nowadays.

We love the Movies on 35th Street!!

Blah to Netflix.

Once upon a time I posted about how Netflix keeps pretending to want me back. But I, as the jilted lover, do not believe Netflix.

You're pretty angry. Maybe it's because you are feeling insecure about inadequacies in a certain part of your anatomy. Perhaps I could recommend Cialis, Levitra or Viagra? Those pop ups (pun intended) are far more annoying than the Netflix ones.

Great rant! I can't even look at my local paper online without getting a netflix popUNDER! I hate those! I will never join netflix either. You can't beat a redbox price!

Yay, no netflix in Canada. But we have plenty of other annoying stuff to boycott

ME TOO DAMNIT!!!! If I see that red flashing box pop ad again - it will be waaaay to soon.

Oh.....and I don't want any SMILEY's either.

I've never run into a Netflix popup, now I feel a little left out. I mean if all the cool kids are being netflixed ...

i hate the pop ups but we have no place to rent movies round here anymore. so my daughter got us a subscription to netflix last year.

i love it because i can find hard to get documentaries and wierd old horror ficks from when i was young plus old silent films and things.

We are lucky to have several little independent video stores plus the public library system here. It's so important to keep patronizing those places if you've got them, or they will go away! And then you won't have options except for Netflix. (netflix is no more a verb than scrapbook or friend.)

I am ashamed to say that I have an unhealthy codependent relationship with Netflix on demand. Ours is a love/hate relationship that I am unable to get out of. Send help.
(hangs head in shame...)
