Vote For Segregation! (Or Some Netflix Petition)

Yes, the picture mangles the metaphor, but this honestly has nothing to do with civil rights. It has everything to do with consumer rights and keeping your significant other's crappy taste in movies far, far away from yours.

The prospect of Netflix dumping segregated profiles on one account has raised a lot of furor. We're mad as hell as we're not going to take it anymore. So some genius whipped up an online petition in an effort to save segregated profiles.

Check out the petition here and like, vote or whatever.

It's pretty hardcore badass what they're trying to pull here. The stipulations of the petition are that users will

1. Drop my plan by one movie (i.e. if I have a 3-out plan, I drop to 2-out)
2. Put my plan on hold indefinitely until profiles are returned
3. Cancel my Netflix account outright

Yowza. I don't have a sliced-and-diced profile so I don't really know what the fuss is about, but I don't think I'd ever threaten to cancel my Netflix account. But maybe you're really, really pissed off about this and are prepared to make that leap.
