What The Frak, Abilene ...

My colleague pointed out to me that on the Netflix home page, he's able to see the most popular rentals picked by his fellow Abilenians. The list of titles being rented the most out of this area is disturbing at best. Take a look:
1. "Assault on Precinct 13"
2. "Final Destination 3"
3. "Mission: Impossible II"
4. "The Wicker Man"
5. "Love's Enduring Promise"
6. "Guess Who"
7. "The Ant Bully"
8. "Flight 93"
9. "Glory Road"
10. "The Nativity Story"
The list continues, and "Barbie Fairytopia: Magic of the Rainbow" (No. 17) makes an appearance, as does "The Shaggy Dog" (No. 21). "Inside Man" (No. 15) also makes the list, so that's the one high note, but for the most part I've officially lost faith in the movie-viewing public of my town. All you Netflixers should take a step back, reevaluate your entertainment needs and desires and think twice before asking that "See No Evil" (No. 11) be sent to your house. Stumped for ideas? Check out what Pajiba.com readers are renting. You're likely to find better suggestions than "The Wicker Man." So go ahead -- restore my hope in humanity. Please?
