I'll take a Rock Band with my Snickers [photo]
Savant \| 9:10 AM on 01.24.2008	24 comments

The above photo was taken last night using my cell phone at a local Blockbuster Video. I was there to return Clerks and rent Mallrats when I took a look at the candy aisle. Granted, I had done this many times before, but something just didn't seem right...

They're friggin' selling Rock Band in the candy aisle these days? Are you fucking kidding me?

Need I say anymore? Discuss.

Blockbuster must be getting desperate to reach that younger demographic.

I'm just going to throw this out there and maybe I'm the only one who feels this way but...

FUCK SNO CAPS!!

That is all.

No mere candy rack can hold Rock Band!

It kinda makes sense...the rest of the stuff is the kind of junk you�d consume while playing the game...

Rent? Why are you renting Mallrats and Clerks? People should own those two movies, never rent them.

Blockbuster broke in Peru, and no longer exists :(
I was one of the 3 morons who still rented his DVD`s there.

I've seen some "impulse buy isles" but this is redicilous

I agree with DvdDesign

I waaaaaant candy.

It does look out of place, maybe that was the only space they had available.

@dvddesign

Good point! I didn't even think about that.

I don't even buy movies and I own Mallrats and Clerks (all the Kevin Smith movies, actually).
