Netflix to help parents send their kids to bed early on New Year’s Eve



In its all-seeing benevolence, Netflix has decided to help parents trick children into going to bed early on New Year’s Eve. According to CNNMoney, Netflix has provided a three-minute New Year’s Eve countdown featuring King Julien, Madagascar’s lemur despot, to its members. [...] In a survey conducted for Netflix by Wakefield Research, 87 percent of parents plan to celebrate New Year’s Eve with their kids, and 34 percent of those parents trick their kids into thinking the moment happens at an earlier time. So the countdown is about helping parents hoodwink their gullible, exhausting kids, and not a viral marketing campaign[.] - B.G. Henne,The A.V. Club [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
