Google's "don't be evil" motto has been the target of the occasional critic. Hulu, however, has declared in its hyped-up Super Bowl TV ad that it is evil--and it's not making any apologies.

The Web video hub, a joint venture between NBC Universal and News Corp., promised to "reveal its secret" in the Super Bowl ad created by agency Crispin Porter & Borgusky, which was running on NBC on Sunday evening. It was an important debut for Hulu, as many television audiences had likely never heard of it. Indeed, when I tried to watch the ad on the Web for the first time, Hulu's servers were overloaded, indicating server demand was high.

But eager nerds who were hoping for a big announcement of new content or a hardware tie-in were probably disappointed: the "secret" was decidedly tongue-in-cheek. We hope.

The ad, called "Alec in Huluwood," stars veteran actor Alec Baldwin, currently in the cast of the NBC show 30 Rock, narrating a 60-second spot that takes place in what appears to be an underground laboratory facility beneath the famed Hollywood sign.

"You know they say TV will rot your brain?" Baldwin asks as he descends in an elevator. "That's absurd. TV only softens the brain like a ripe banana. To take it all the way, we've created Hulu."

The thinking, per Baldwin's monologue, is that if there's loads and loads of TV content available on the Web, you can't possibly escape it ("I mean, what're you going to do? Turn off your TV and your computer?") And Hulu, he says, was created with sordid ulterior motives: "Once your brain is reduced to a cottage cheese-like mush, we'll scoop them out with a melon baller and gobble them right on up."

A tentacle slips out of Baldwin's suit jacket. "Because we're aliens, and that's how we roll."

Guess my "Hulu is people" theory wasn't that far off.

This is crazy! Am I supposed to laugh at this?!? Is the joke is on the millions who watched this during the superbowl and laughed, or on anyone who tries to tell them about an evil plot by aliens to control the world?

The average person has been bombarded by this kind of thing. It makes those of us who choose to speak out look like fools. Try to talk to someone about the men in black for example, they'll immediately think of Will Smith in some B rate comedy about aliens. The Philadelphia experiment--oh that's just dumb a movie! Montauk?? Isn't that the place in that Jim Carey flick Eternal Sunshine? Global elite? Oh you just got that from the video game Metal Gear. Retilian shapeshifters? V! Unbelievable!


And another thing:

If Google's slogan was "don't be evil" why did they and Yahoo actively censor Chinese websites that contained info about the Dali Lama, Tibet and other information the Chinese government paid them to suppress?  Sounds pretty evil to me.  It's only a matter of time before the same thing happens over here, assuming it hasn't already.

I thought it was interesting how they flaunted the truth in front of everyone. It’s like they were taunting conspiracy theorists.

It is what it is. In plain sight.  I don't feel taunted at all though. I hope they keep talking, because all that talk will be put to a cease, soon enough. That's how it ends heh heh.

Who funded this "free service"? The U.S. military and INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, primarily.

In Swahili, Hulu means, among other things, both “cease” and “desist.”

Hulu Pulls Video From Boxee

The move, requested by Hulu's content providers, signals a tightening of online TV and movie distribution by Hollywood studios.

By Antone Gonsalves,  InformationWeek
Feb. 19, 2009 

Online video aggregator Hulu on Friday will have its content feed of TV shows and movies removed from the Boxee application, a move that signals a tightening of online distribution by Hollywood studios.

While apologizing to Boxee users, Hulu chief executive Jason Kilar said the company had no choice but to turn off the video spigot later this week.

"Our content providers requested that we turn off access to our content via the Boxee product, and we are respecting their wishes," Kilar said in the company's blog Wednesday. "While we stubbornly believe in this brave new world of media convergence -- bumps and all -- we are also steadfast in our belief that the best way to achieve our ambitious, never-ending mission of making media easier for users is to work hand in hand with content owners."

Kilar did not name the studios involved. Hulu has never had a formal content deal with Boxee, according to the CEO.

"The maddening part of writing this blog entry is that we realized that there is no immediate win here for users," Kilar said.

Indeed, on the Boxee blog, the company said Hulu was the most requested site by Boxee users. Last week alone, Boxee generated more than 100,000 streams for Hulu, according to Boxee.

Nevertheless, the company was notified two weeks ago by Hulu that content providers had requested that their content be removed from Boxee. "We tried (many times) to plead the case for keeping Hulu on Boxee, but on Friday of this week, in good faith, we will be removing it," the company said.

The Boxee application, which is downloaded from the company's site, provides access to online movies, TV shows, music, and photos through a PC or a broadband-connected digital TV. Besides Hulu, the software streams content from Netflix, ABC, CBS, Comedy Central, Last.fm, and Flickr.

On Thursday, CNET News reported that Hulu has also removed its content from CBS-owned TV.com, saying it was exercising its "contractual rights." CNET is published by CBS Interactive.

The Hulu moves reflect a retreat by Hollywood on distribution of video, even when it's being offered at no charge. The move occurs at the same time file-sharing site Pirate Bay is on trial in Sweden for allegedly infringing on film and music copyrights.

The site is accused of making copyrighted materials available to Internet users for free through BitTorrent. BMG, EMI, Sony BMG, Universal, Columbia Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Universal, and Warner Bros. are among those accusing the Sweden-based site and its operators of copyright infringement. They're seeking more than $12 million in revenue losses.

That's their exact intent guys... exposing the intentons of the NWO is one thing, exposing shapeshifting aliens is another.  Though I cannot say that such things don't exist, I equally can't say they do... as I've expressed many times.  I've never seen any nor do I have any consolidative proof of their existance.  Anectodal evidence and the here-say is not what I call proper evidence.  If anyone would like to enlighten me with either, I would appreciate the favour, make no mistake of that.

Flaunting 'it' in your face has been their way since they began... nothing new really, only it's been overdone this time.  Which goes to show how close we are in proving any such thing to the masses.  What they need is unquestionable evidence.  Once they have that, it's over.
