"Which Ad Experience Do You Prefer?"

Yesterday I hit up Hulu to watch 30 Rock, and before the program started I was given three choices of advertisements to watch. I seldom pay these any mind; I don't really give a shit about what Toyota commercial I have to sit through. I don't know how many times I click "no" when I am asked if a car commercial is relevant to me, and yet that oh-so-brilliant Ad Tailor still gives me ads for automobiles. Most of the ads on Hulu I find irrelevant, but sometimes I lie and click "yes" because I'm afraid if people don't click "yes" at least some of the time or don't click anything at all Hulu will stop being free. It's already starting to go that way with Hulu Plus, certain shows are only available through that service, and at $8 a month or whatever it's far cheaper than cable (and with less ads), it's a trend I'm not liking. Speaking of ridiculousness, I was watching The Daily Show on Comedy Central and the commercial breaks were two to three minutes long. Really?! That's some bullshit right there. When I want to watch free television on guakbot, I don't want to suffer through the same amount of commercial breaks as if I was watching it on an actual television. Fucking lame.

To get to the point of this world wide web log post, I was given the choice of "Free Popcorn," "Fred Willard," or "Quick File." Fred Willard! If given any choices that include Fred Willard I will go with Fred just about every single goddamn time. A choice between Fred Willard and fellatio might be the sole exception. I get excited every time this amazingly funny man gets some work. Even if it is working for Turbo Tax, which I have no interest in. I still clicked "yes" though.
