I like the empolyment of the word "vow" there. I can just imagine some CEO with his fist in the air yelling "Even if I die in the process, I swear that Netflix will be run into the ground!"

Seriously though, why can't the two just leave each other alone? It's a completely different rental service!

or C*ckbuster could just lower their rates so people will WANT to rent from them.
