Netflix just lost Sarah Palin's business, and possibly all of her remaining supporters as well. Gee, how WILL they survive?

Courtesy of The Examiner:

Most major corporations avoid injecting themselves into controversial subjects like politics, but Netflix just couldn't help itself when it saw the chance to take a swipe at Gov. Sarah Palin. Last night, Netflix used its Twitter account to chime in on the #SarahPalinFilms trend, by referencing a movie about Nazis. 

The #SarahPalinFilms hashtag trend began Thursday as a way for Twitter users to take shots at the former Alaskan governor and Republican vice presidential candidate. Netflix's official Twitter account jumped on the bandwagon Thursday night by tweeting the hashtag and quoting the movie title "Iron Sky." Netflix also attached a photo from the film.

"Iron Sky" is a low-budget sci-fi film in which Nazis from the moon return to Earth to exact revenge on America, now led by a Palin-like caricature serving as President.

Okay well I have to admit that I watched this movie awhile back, and though it was low budget, it WAS pretty entertaining.

Especially the character playing a Palin-like POTUS (Don't panic, it is all done tongue in cheek.). They show her riding a treadmill, using all kinds of Palinesque phrases, and essentially putting her needs ahead of everybody elses.

In other words a spot on acting job.

By the way the Palin POTUS is not technically a moon Nazi in the film, they just convert her and use her to take over the planet. Small quibble.

Of course this minor factoid did not stop the Twitter loving Palin-bots from getting all "wee-weed" up.

. @netflix you know taxpayers probably constitute many of your customers. Maybe you'd like to not thumb them in the eye. #justathought

Yes because ONLY conservatives who like Sarah Palin pay taxes.

@netflix You don't want to anger your conservative base, who I'd wager are the majority of your customers. Tread carefully. #tcot

@2x4hardcore @netflix @twitchypolitics If Netflix only wants 51% of America's business, then they've made the right move!

You get the drift. If Netflix did not take down their offensive tweet they were going to lose good taxpaying conservative customers to Redbox.

Well the tweet stayed up so I assume that Netflix has now been driven out of business.

What they are still up and running?

Gee, does that mean that MOST people consider Sarah Palin a joke, and that her left over raggedy band of paint eating supporters do not have anywhere NEAR the numbers it would take to threaten anybody into cowering before them anymore?

Yep, I think that is exactly what this means!
