Yeah, case in point my kids: http://www.flickr.com/photos/konstantin/5378716720/ Seriously, if Netflix is not allowing you to veg out enough when watching TV, then you have something wrong upstairs that probably only a full frontal lobotomy can solve. > 1. Much of the most desirable content is not available Over-the-top. Made so by a constant bombardment of ads. If you happen to block ads in your browser and cut the cord completely, this becomes a moot point. I honestly couldn't tell you what is out in theaters at the moment or what the 'hottest' tv series is. I do however know that when I turn on Netflix there is so much content available that it in itself is a sensory overload. I'm not buying anything in this anti-cord cutting video.
