We think we just saw Ashton Kutcher, cuz you just got Netflix'd!
Netflix users are in an uproar, and rightfully so.If you're not familiar with what Netflix is, then sorry...please move along.
Kidding...you can rent movies online, and you can create a queue of what you want to see, and they'll mail them to your house as they're available. It's like an autopilot feature and it frakkin rocks.
A few months ago the company put out an even cooler feature that let Netflix account holders create multiple queues under one account. So basically your baby daughter, mom, uncle Steve, and your parrot Whiskers could have their own queue of movies that they want to see.
Such a time saver, such a great function that really reminds you why you use and love (and pay for) Netflix.
Don't go and try to sign up just for that feature though, because Netflix just announced that they're taking it away.
You read it right...do not pass go, do not collect 300 movies. Gone, nada, zip, outro, peas out., Seacrest OUT!
This is what folks are in an uproar about regarding this:
Here's the email from Netflix:
Wow, way to irritate the people who pay for your service Netflix!!!!!
Why should we have to make separate accounts now and pay differently for them when we were given this feature to spend time on? Have you ever spent time with your Netflix queue? We have. And we've spent hours on it. Who doesn't want Rocky III at the top and on it's way ASAP?
What say you? Are you a Netflix customer? Are you crabbypatty about this? Be heard!

This is what folks are in an uproar about regarding this:
- The feature was just introduced and now it's gone
- The sub queues will be deleted September 1st
- You can't migrate those sub queues into your main queue...so basically all that time you spent building them? WASTED!
