In the video slot machine that is Hulu’s homepage list of “Popular Episodes” Popular Clips” and “Featured Episodes” sometimes you just happen to hit jackpot. Above is a screen grab of Family Guy, Howcast’s “How to Have Great Phone Sex” and President Obama’s Memorial Day Remarks. We know Hulu is just trying to promote everything they have to offer and giving the internet audience what they want, but really do we have to have Obama next to lessons in phone sex?
Also, it bears noting that of these three clips the episode of Family Guy is rated for a mature audience. While Obama’s speech is not rated at all. And the “How to Have Great Phone Sex” is rated TV-G! (We don’t quite get it either). While the videos are rated roughly the same, the Family Guy episode has 20 pages of comments, the Howcast has 5, and Obama (though only posted yesterday) has a mere one page of comments. Clearly, in America our priorities go awesome TV shows, sex, politics. Surprising. We never thought people would put laughter ahead of sex. We’re gonna watch Obama’s speech now out of guilt that we watched Family Guy and the Phone Sex videos first.
