We give Blockbuster low grades on this obvious attempt to lure customers to rent romantic videos for Valentine's Day. The press release explains nothing about the survey method nor the sample frame leaving much to the imagination about the credibility of the results. Marketers who need to know the entertainment habits of romantically-inclined adults should not turn to this study for insights.
