A father would have just told me "tough luck" about my NES. My DAD wanted to play some Zelda. You're damn right I'm proud of him.Everyone does dumb stuff, Mr. Ethics.
These looked like actual Blockbuster stores and employees - does that mean that Blockbuster gave permission to The Onion to do this story? If so, kudos to Blockbuster for not taking themselves too seriously.
Holy s**t. I just read the whole thing. f**king scary.Pretty much everything in there came true. Back then it was a joke, and satire.But it all happened.

Moniter? Who would want to read an ebook on a moniter? Get an LCD based PDA at least if u don't want to go all out with a e-Ink device.
