Netflix Rebates Instead of Tax Rebates?

Dateline: Hollywood posted a silly spoof of the anticipated tax rebate, Congress and President Bush agree on Netflix rebates for Americans during Writers Strike.

“When it comes to matters that are urgent — making sure Americans are watching enough television during this strike — Republicans and Democrats have come together to bring relief to the American viewing public,” said President Bush during a televised news conference.

“These Netflix rebates will allow Americans to rent great movies like ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,’ and ‘Ghost Rider,’ or they can get a free rental from a TV show like ‘Entourage.’ I’m especially fond of that Turtle guy.”

The rebates that will be sent out by the U.S. government starting in February will amount to three free rentals through Nextflix.
