By now, you've probably heard about how everyone is fuming and fussing about the new Netflix business model. Netflix is obv. huge and one would imagine they did comprehensive research and due diligence in naming the DVD division Qwikster?turns out, they may not be able to get the @qwikster handle on Twitter, because it already belongs to dope-smoking Elmo, the alterego of some dude who gets bored in English class, smokes a lot of bowls, and plays a lot of videogames. He may be the only person in America who doesn't hate the new Netflix business model, since he could potentially be offered a lot of money for the Twitter name. D'oh! [Consumerist]
