Useless Fucking Website

I open a couple of movies that my family bought, and there are coupons for free admission to The DaVinci Code. Fuck yeah! Before I got my hopes up too much, I decided to log on to the website and check to see if Auburn's theater was a "participating theater." I get to the website and it won't let me search for a nearby theater because the promotion is only valid from 05/18 to 06/30. Okay. Point taken. Now show me some fucking theaters!

I sent the website's proprietors a nice message via their internal feedback module.

Well I got your coupon in a couple of movies that I had bought. "Great!" I thought. "I'll log in and see if the theater here in town is one of the participating theaters." No, I won't. Why? Because you're website keeps reminding me that the promotion is only good between May 18th and June 30th. Thanks, assholes. I figured that since the fucking movie doesn't even come out until the 19th. I just figured, you know, maybe I'd check on the theater more than one day in advance. If I can drive a few miles to the next town over to a participating theater, I will, but I would like to make those plans a little in advance.

In short, thanks for nothing.
