Netflix "Qwikster" has a Twitter problem. A thuggish, weed-loving, Twitter problem.

Over the weekend and after an ill-received price hike, beleaguered Netflix CEO Reed Hastings pulled a dramatic mea culpa. In a post on the official Netflix blog, he announced that the company will split streaming and DVD services, and launch a new company to handle the latter (plus games): Qwikster.


But, oops! The @Qwikster Twitter handle appears to be controlled by a young stoner. Or at least, for now. Imagine all the 420 this young feller could buy with a Netflix payout to take over the handle!

Here are @Qwikster's greatest hits, analyzed.

UPDATE: After a long absence, Qwikster speaks!
