Netflix dumps Qwikster, Twitterverse QWIK to make same, obvious pun
Looks like Netflix has decided to drop its DVD-only service, Qwikster, before it even launched. The ill-named site has allowed anyone with a Twitter account to be very, very funny. In the exact same way.
At the time of post’s original publication at 11am, this pun had been made nearly 100 times. Here are the first 25 people to think of it.
