When I checked my queue on Netflix last night I noticed that every single one of the "mature" titles in my queue had been moved to the Unreleased queue with release date "unknown". This includes all Playboy and Penthouse dvd titles, soft porn, even the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue dvd! So I emailed Netflix customer service to find out what happened and this is what their reply was.
"Netflix will discontinue its selection of films in the Mature category, which consisted of erotic-style films also available at Amazon and Ebay. This category consists of less than 1% of Netflix's business and has not been proven viable."
This is the last straw! This is my last month with Netflix. How dare they take away our option to rent adult titles! Most of the time newer movie dvd releases are checked out, so I've enjoyed having the option to rent mature titles when the movie I want isn't available. Now that choice has been taken away. I have a hard time believing mature titles only accounted for 1% of Netflix's business. That's bull! Many of the "mature" titles in my queue were consistently checked out. It's censorship, plain and simple, and I won't put up with it. Netflix, you are the weakest link! Goodbye!
