Hulu and the Problems it Causes

Many of you probably already know what Hulu.com is, but for those who don't I will endeavor to explain. Hulu.com (as well as a few other similar sites) stream video over the Internet. This means that you can watch The Office or Family Guy on your computer. Hulu consequently appeals to people like me whose parents refuse to pay for more than a few TV channels (or a reasonable sized TV for that matter).

My newfound addiction to Hulu.com has provided me with more than a few problems, only a couple actually related to the website itself:

-First, it doesn't work well with the Internet at my college, so no Daily Show instead of homework

-The way Hulu pays for its content is advertising; one episode is brought to the viewer by one product. And since there is only one product, there is only one commercial. At one point, I watched the same 30 second commercial about KY warming lube 10 times over the course of one movie.

-Since I have a laptop, I have taken to watching videos in bed. And sometimes while I'm watching, I like to eat delicious food. I am thus faced with the task of trying to eat Rice Krispies with bananas, while navigating a website in a reclining position. Needless to say, my loins have been sprayed with liberal amounts of rice, krispies, bananas, and milk.

That being said, Hulu is a lovely website and services like it are certainly the future of video media. THE END
