Internet is becoming the one stop source of most people but we must use it in right way. I agree with Branden with the Amazon Video on Demand,it is also a great way to watch movies.

If you go to their website to browse their catalog of rentals you will see they have a major category "Gay & Lesbian". If we use Netflix, then our dollars are rewarding them with profits and enabling them to continue. Is there not a company that gives us a more moral alternative?

There are a lot of resources online that is FREE of charge. The best thing to do is search online where you can find free watching of movies rather than renting them.

To cut back on expenses my husband and I ditched the basic satellite services that we were paying $55 per month for and enrolled with Netflix for the plan that allows us to have one DVD at a time and unlimited viewing of whatever is available online for instant viewing. Since my husband has an Xbox 360 it is possible for us to stream for instant viewing. There are TV series such as McCleod's Daughters and Legend of the Seeker that we had never heard of and thoroughly enjoy. I love Netflix!

I DO know that a site that I have used for years to confirm "hoaxes" is now using popup ads and I wrote them to advise them they lost my "business" (yeah, I know that I don't buy anything there). I now use a different, but as reliable, source. The owner wrote me to say they needed the money and HAD TO ACCEPT THE POPUP ADS. So there may be a little of both going on...the website creating them for their site and Netflix. I don't know any of that for sure but just as general principle do not click on popup ads for any reason. If I have a chance to do so, I write the webmaster about my displeasure.

When I am on netflix.com (the official site), I have never been bothered by popup ads. I think what you are possibly referring to is when you go to other websites, and they are promoting Netflix (by using the popups). Those other websites, which are promoting Netflix, are responsible for their methods of advertising (not Netflix), because those companies are affiliates and get commissions off each sale that is made through the vendor, Netflix. I undertstand how you feel and I don't like the popups either. But I have my own product and affiliates, and sometimes the affiliates create their own popups with a link to my product, but they are responsible, not me. I hope that makes sense.

I have a great setup at my home, because I also enjoy watching movies. For a while, I didn't have cable or satellite television, so this is what I did (and I NEVER go to Blockbuster or rent from Redbox, because I think this is cheaper). I think people who rent from Redbox end up paying just as much, if not more, than they'd pay if renting from Blockbuster because they keep it longer than a day. That's just my opinion. Personally, I pay $9.99 a month for netflix. With Netflix, I can pick DVDs and they send them out to me. Then after I am done, I send it back in and get more. But I also purchased ROKU - a box which allows me to watch any Netflix videos I put in my instant queue, on my television. So I login to Netflix, pick shows and movies and then turn my TV on to watch them straight on there. It costs just a one-time payment of about $90 dollars for the ROKU, then you can use it without paying any extra fees with netflix. I think it saves me a lot of money -as I used to rent from Blockbuster. I also live far from the city (rural area) and I don't have time to drive to a Redbox and back.

In particular, Hulu is now frequently showing especially disgusting condom ads, and ABC and Hulu are showing not-as-gross, but-still-sexist liquor ads; once again, ad folks are assuming anything online must be tailored to the tastes of 13-year-old cynical misogynists...
