Off-topic, but how does it work that when I load that site I get an advertisement for The Lorax (http://i.imgur.com/y6eke4T.jpg), a character with whom John Dryden happens to share several key features? I understand showing ads by keyword (the alcohol ad as alcohol is mentioned in the article several times...) but facial similarity based advertising?! I'm speechless.

Maybe a coincidence? There's also mention of 'kids', 'school', 'students', etc. However, I'd guess the technology is there to do facial recognition... not sure how that's effective for any advertiser's end goals though... except maybe certain cases of demographics, like if you are on a body building website then you show ads that have people with big necks.

If it's coincidence, it's an incredible one. I reloaded the site two more times, and got The Lorax repeatedly. If it's not coincidence, am I supposed to look at Mr. Dryden and think "I want to see The Lorax... oh how convenient! There it is! click"?

Off topic off topic: i thought he's more like the Big Lebowski dude, especially with the "I'm trying to refocus people's attention, calm down" ending. If Netflix recommended that, I'd be really impressed.
