It’s their own fault. They chose not to keep up with Red Box and Netflix.

i have seen the Blockbuster kiosks in supermarkets and convenience stores. I guess they jumped on the wagon too late.

They tried the box approach like Red Box here in L.A. but you have to pay attention. Used to go with my former GF(s) to BB years ago just to get out of the apartment but nowadays you can do that in your underwear, going online on Netflix.

I looked at the list of 15 other companies and found a few I expected Renault (Who even knew Le Junk was still around), United States Steel (How's that hope and change working out for your big heavily unionized company), Eastman Kodak Company (I no longer own any cameras that use film). Like Blockbuster they have business models that just no longer fit the real world.

I didn't expect to see Porsche on the list, and certainly didn't expect to see them at #2. I figured a luxury auto maker might be having problems these days, but I thought someone would buy them up for the name.

As for the green energy companies like #5 Renewable Energy Corporation they grew faster than demand anticipating the governments to make people buy their products. Now that we are in a world wide recession nobody has money to spend on feel good green crap.
