Netflix Mood Ring
Imagine a hard day at work is done, the fridge is full of beer, and you have a commitment free night ready for the taking … too bad all you have from Netflix are art films and documentaries. It seemed like a good idea at the time, a documentary about documentaries. If only you knew what your mood would be by the time the movies actually got to your doorstep.
Well, now you can. Part psychotherapy, part online scheduling, part new age luck, the Netflix mood ring actually predicts what your mood will be before and after watching movies in your queue. Adam Sandler movies have a right time and a right place – but only if you plan ahead.

This sounds a lot more practical than my NetFlix ouija board.

Netflix Mood Ring uses the same back end technology as NetFlix ouija board ® but it’s algorithm compensates for (N.O.B’s ) bias towards werewolves, ghosts and David Lynch movies.

How about cutting a deal with drugstore.com to bundle mood-altering drugs with the dvds, tailored to your likely mood and the movie you’re going to watch? Or even tailored for specific scenes? Can you imagine how much better a movie like “Silence of the Lambs” would be with a little cocktail of paxil, vicodin, red bulls and peyote?
