Why, Netflix, Why?

I love pretty much everything about Netflix.  I just wish they'd tell me why they think I'll "love their recommendations." Oh, sometimes it's easy to figure out. Yes, if I liked Roger Waters, The Wall, I'll probably enjoy Pink Floyd, Dark Side of The Moon.  But, why do they think because I liked IMAX Beavers, I'll like Diana Krall, Live in Paris?  Or how about explaining the connection between Looney Tunes Classics and Pulp Fiction? Or Queen Live and The Best of John Belushi? My theory? Behind the anonymous Netflix web based scenes are pot smoking teenagers making minimum wage for stuffing envelopes and watching movies. Bored out of their minds and high as kites, they place bets, sort of like a football pool and the winner is the one who gets the most grandmas to rent Reefer Madness because they tell them it's similar to The Golden Girls.
