As you've been surfing the Internet today, you've probably noticed that the web looks like it has lost its darn mind. Some news seems so ridiculous, it can't possibly be true, while other tidbits seem so ridiculously awesome, you wish they were legitimate.

Netflix Wants You To "Binge Responsibly"

This April Fools' Day, Netflix has launched a "Binge Responsibly" campaign. If you watch more than two consecutive episodes of a TV show on the streaming platform, a video will suddenly pop up featuring a star from one of Netflix's Original Series. Bloodline's Linda Cardellini, Orange is the New Black's Selenis Leyva or House of Cards' Michael Kelly will try to encourage you to press pause and go do something more productive with your time, such as going to work, doing your homework or taking a shower. You know, less important stuff.
