Prime VOD Linky

Probably won't post on the main site for fear of a fatwa.

Yeah, the commentors on the Blockbuster coupon deal need to get a life...

If you have prime from Amazon Mom, do you qualify?

No, just paid subscribers.

I'm a 'guest' on someone else's account and I don't have access. Suddenly I feel like I'm getting less value for my $20 sharing.

Do the comments on the main site accept html or what ever the forum tagging language is?
(You'll see why it's here in a moment)

Please post it. If they don't like it, let them find their own internet to browse

fatwa is an islamic law

Chaikel · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2011, 04:24:35 PM »

So can we have a poll whether or not this should go on the main site?
Or is this some sort of islamic monarchy

Anyone who has a problem which such 'tumah' being posted should get a life and go on websites that dont offer such 'terrible' things...

i respect Dan's decision. while i may or may not use this service, Dan represents a distinguished viewpoint, and has a wide influence. I'm not going to compare it to the atrocities that go on on collive, but it is commendable to avoid promoting and approving this.
