That's evil. Why don't the founders use their profiles with a bot. At least that way new users know there is a busy, real person behind the canned message.
Pretty funny. Either someone did that on purpose to make it seem like Flixster uses bots or the coder is lazy, probably underpaid too.
Small team. I'm pretty sure its an official bot. My account got the same thing. It's no secret that they're "aggressive" in their marketing. I think they've crossed over into doing evil though.
The least they could have done was to code a better Bot.
