So, how much would YOU offer this foul-mouthed pothead for the account if you were netflix to shut him up.

who will get sloppy seconds..

ghey as shyt

the smart move would to be pay Twitter the company to close his account and hand it over to netflixs 6-12mons later. sure some people will complain but at the end of that day they're a private company and can do what ever they want. Just me thoughts/suggestion

LOL...

You've been so patient. Carl is back from Burning Man and the summer festie season is done. So we're shooting next week!

Hell yeah.

It would be great if it was a Netflix PR stunt.

Those comments are pure fucking gold. Funny guy -- although he may just be an idiot, and I find idiocy kind of funny.

$0.00 if i was "smart" enough to secure the trademark

Good point well made.

I dunno what is worse, the people that feel the need to type everything they do all day on Twitter, or the people that read it.

More facts about the name change:

A few times in the press release they actually said "every one can go fuck themselves"

They are forcing your grandparents to throw out the VHS copy of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom you've watched at their place for the last twenty years

They will be merging with MySpace and calling themselves "Throwing in the Towel, Inc"

If you would like to be slapped in the face by their CEO, that can be made available

For an extra 8 bucks a month, you can have random movies deleted from your queue (For clarification, this is actually happening. By having a separate account for DVDs, you will now have two queues. Actually three. One for streaming. One for DVDs. On for a list of all reasons Netflix hates you personally.)
$9.99/month for a service that alerts you every time their CEO makes a public apology

Their streaming selection now consists only Cameron Crowe's last few movies and the JTT-less seasons of Home Improvement

They probably said something about Jews in there. Don't know for sure, but we can all assume it.

Local Qwikster stores will open all over the country and rent DVDs to people for three nights at a time.

What's worse is the people that don't get twitter and complain about it. Like when MySpace was all the rage and people said Facebook was shit and then had to come shamefaced to Facebook. You know the type.

Cuil called...

Doesn't even really need a punchline. A shitty idea to spin off their DVD services turned epic fail with that shitty name.

fuck the dvd services that shit is ancient

they need to find a way to make a machine that ppl can hookup to their tvs and have netflix for cheap and then send them out in bulk like AOL did

people would be glad to ditch their cable companies if it was easy, right now getting netflix seems like a technological nightmare for the non tech savvy person

Really? It's easy as shit through the Wii and I assume similarly through XBox Live or whatever other similar avenues people already have.

Their DVD service wouldn't have been completely shit if they had only raised the Streaming + DVD by a couple bucks a month. As it is, you'd have to be totally on it to make it cost as little as Redbox does, and with Redbox you get the DVD immediately and don't have to wait for shipping. People don't like waiting for anything these days.

To be fair, people like me who get sidetracked and forget to watch their Redbox or forget to return them end up paying more to rent movies that way. I rented 2 movies and paid $12 in total.

So, I'm down to Netflix streaming for TV shows and random movie watching and Blockbuster for games & newer movies. That costs me around $20 a month in total.

Amen brother.
