Internet Teevee


I love the internet. We all love the internet.

It lets us stay in our nice, cozy houses and avoid interacting with other members of the human race. It lets us shop for good deals while we're sitting in our jammies. Heck, we might even still be wearing the same jammies when the man in brown delivers that good deal right to our door. The internet lets us do lots of things.

Add one more thing to the list: Internet TV. Yeah, I know... It's been around for a while already. The trouble is, it's always been marginal at best. Either it's riddled with ads, requires you to login, or the video you watch is of barely watchable quality.

Enter HULU.com. The internet has a new reason to justify its existence. Like most of you, I had never heard of Hulu before watching that funny Superbowl ad with Alec Baldwin.

Not only is the quality stellar, they have TONS of channels to select from. Favorite shows of all kinds. I just finished watching last night's Leno show a few minutes ago. Before that? A great version of The Family Guy. It lets you watch in full screen, lets you fast-forward (it has a cool slide bar at the bottom), and pretty much gives you full control. Sure, there are a few ads here and there (after all, they have to make money, right?) but overall it's great!

No more need for VCR's, DVR's, or any other recording device to catch your shows. Just kick back and watch them right here.

Oh, and don't forget to order some groceries online... You're going to get hungry.

So how much does this advertising gig pay?
