New Releases, 28 October 2008

My friends, I know you're hurting. Times are rough on Main street, and my opponent talks about "spreading the new movies around." But my friends, this is no time to experiment with Socialism, or the barter system. We must continue to pay for videos and, if we're late, we must pay the late fees. This is what made this country great my friends. We can't trade movies for backrubs or soup or drycleaning or...actually, that sounds pretty nice.
