Hulu, I said! Hulu!
Go ahead and skip the Super Bowl tomorrow, friends: Hulu will have all of the commercials on there for your streaming pleasure after the game, ensuring you don’t miss a single whimsical Monster.com ad or a Miller Lite ad involving two women who fight with a gnome of his secret goldmine of beer. I should be in advertising.
Advertisers are paying $2.7 million for 30 seconds of air time, so let’s all be sure to watch their pitches so it’s worth their while. The gears of Capitalism are oiled by the blood of the masses, after all.
