NJ Sticks It To Blockbuster

Some of you may know that we hate Blockbuster Video and now rent from Netflix. Recently, Blockbuster tried luring and enticing minors... um customers, back to their store with "The End of Late Fees". This of course was bullshit since in fact keeping a film for more than two weeks resulted in a $1.25 late fee...er, "Restocking Fee". Oh, and if you kept it longer than 30 days, Blockbuster would charge retail, which for new releases could be $100 or more.

Well, thankfully, New Jersey took the step of suing the shit out of blockbuster. You go, Peter Harvey. AG Harvey's office is claiming that a restocking fee is a late fee and to adervtise in New Jersey that there are no late fees is well, lying, and believe it or not, illegal.
