When Netflix Goes Glitchy

I was idly scanning through Netflix last night, and noticed that the same description kept following me through the selections. At first, I was all, “Man, Netflix is really phoning it in with these copy/paste descriptions.” Of course after a few seconds, I realized it was a glitch. There were some programs where it really didn’t apply. I don’t remember the original show that fit the description, and didn’t feel like trying to find it.
Instead, I stopped where I was in the menu and snapped a picture. It made it seem like horribly inappropriate joke:

I suppose if it had been something like Downfall (2004 film), it might have made more sense, and maybe even been a little funny. So I previewed a few more programs and came up with better results.

The Guild is kind of a fun show. And I can see how a fit young fighter could turn into a bloated lothario:

Pingu made for a better candidate:

So did Barney:

And lastly, if there is a Hell, I’ll probably see you all there:

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
