Restive State

Blockbuster is getting sued for its No More Late Fees campaign. The NJ Attorney General says the ad campaign fools consumers into thinking there are no repercussions for returning the movie late. Which there is, laid out in fine print. But they're claiming the end of late fees which really doesn't jibe with the real deal.

Would really like him to get a load of crap that our local Blockbuster is pulling. While nationally the No More Late Fees program is being implemented, our local franchisee has "decided not to take part in this program." What?! Oh so you can choose whether too or not? The only reason why they won't is because they can make a ton of money off of late fees here in town. It does them no good to implement the program due to the loss of great revenue they get from late fees. So they didn't. Another wonderful thing about living in this damn town.

Stay cool...
