I recently found out about a cool little movement that I thought sounded fun. It seems some folks repurposed some of the older newspaper boxes you see on city streets, to house a plethora of movies for folks to “rent”.
The idea works on an honor system where you take a DVD, and leave one. It’s all FREE and anyone can use it. Me being a big movie and tv show buff...I love the idea and it seems I’m not alone as a ton are popping up all over the country according to their FB page and website.

My question to you is...would you use it?!?
I have been thinking of finding one of these newspaper bins, fixing it up, and then loading it up with mainly nerdy movies for my customers to use. I figured I could place it directly in front of my shop where it would get a bunch of traffic...and hopefully participate in something fun for our area.
I know there is the possibility of some jizzbucket coming along and taking all the movies...or some fucknugget vandalizing it...but we are in a pretty decent town where I’d hope most folks would appreciate it.
What are your thoughts? Anyone near one of these things???
