I didn't say io9 made it up. It just seems like something a person or group of persons might do for shits and giggles.

In any case, I was wrong, because other people have reported seeing it.

Actually, I am. At my old favorite house party haunt, (dubbed the House of Vice) I was usually the first participant in a game called, "Shot-Pool-Shot." Here's how the game worked: if a party wasn't getting 'going' quickly enough I would strip naked, take a shot of whiskey, jump into the unheated pool, swim across and…

Yeah. Other people have confirmed that this was happening and most of them were nonsense. But, if Netflix were to do it on purpose, it would be a really clever viral marketing tool. Good April Fools joke too. It looked fake to me mainly because of the clipped letters you can see on the edges of the text. I suppose…

Okay. Cool. I just hadn't seen it on my Netflix *and* I noticed the odd clipping on the images. So... Thanks for the clarification.

It's a great joke, whether it's an organic bug, an intentional gag/viral marketing, or a total fakeout. I was rolling with laughter.

Were most of them incoherent and people just saved the good ones? Would it happen only to certain titles?

Sure. But they could also have included the 'bug' as a way to get millions of dollars in free advertising. There is no way I would be talking to a stranger about Netflix (or Slajov Zizek) at 2 am on a Tuesday otherwise.

She's got a great ass, but I'd sign up for 100% brain. #sorry #misogynistic #couldnthelpmyself

Well, you find two film summaries, then splice them together using photoshop, then you put the image on your tv and take a photograph. Then, you pretend it was a bug. These are too perfect. I'm pretty sure it never happened, or Netflix did it on purpose. Say, wasn't April Fools Day a few weeks ago?

Actually, he probably has spoken on record about Spider-Man. I'm pretty sure the above quoted film is The Perverts Guide to Cinema. Great flick. Saw it at Telluride a few years back. The new one, a perverts guide to ideology is also fascinating. I saw it twice at Cinefamily when it premiered.

IIRC, Lil Kim is multiethnic and has some heritage from the 'Sub-Continent.' I was surprised that this article wasn't A: sponsored or B: about Lil' Kim's Bindi-face. (What do you call that? Apu-face? I can name various examples of this, but not the specific category.)
