Netflix Top 100
Netflix’s Top 100 is based off the movies that are rented the most.

Look at this picture. He looks like he has a gun.
Seriously, how are these people not learning anything from Pacman, Vick, Plaxico, Tank Johnson, Chris Perry, etc… And by people I don’t mean the players, I mean their handlers. Who is running these people?
