“Dishes Stacking Up”

Dish Network has reportedly paid $320 million to acquire Blockbuster.  Prior to the acquisition, Blockbuster's desperation had become apparent, thanks to their new slogan, "Be kind, rewind  - to 1997."

The Dish network had originally intended to only keep Blockbuster for a short time, but now they want to hold onto it longer and see all of its special features, including behind the scenes stuff and directors’ commentary.

If Blockbuster has the effect predicted by some doubters, it may become known as Dishbuster.
