Netflix to open branded retail stores for some reason::Netflix has decided to open a number of brick-and-mortar locations to sell items based on hit shows, offer dining and provide live events. There’s also going to be an obstacle course based on ‘Squid Game.’

I cannot imagine a customer base that's so ecstatic with Netflix's service that they're willing to give the company even more money by buying overpriced ultra-processed meals and branded coffee cups. Why people continue to sell their souls and open their wallets to these companies is beyond me.

Never met consumer whores? Not that I can talk, smack a pokemon on just about anything and I want to buy it.

That said, I don’t think Netflix has that cachet. Maybe they’ll have a section where you can vote on what show gets abruptly cancelled next!

And there's nothing wrong with being a Pokeslut. When a hunky Pokemon trainer throws their balls my way, I'm always up for a little Squirtle in my Caterpie.
