I really dig Hulu. I don’t own a television because I’m a bad-TV addict and would spend every waking hour watching Roseanne reruns if left to my own devices. However, sometimes I just want to zone out, and Hulu’s more than enabled me in this pursuit.
I was one of the first 100 Hulu users. I should be thanking them for being able to say that, but they wanted to say thanks and sent me this very comfy t-shirt:
(If you’re ever printing t-shirts, gray is a great color. Also, you should get them from A.J., who not only gives great deals, but also has amazing taste—he’s responsible for the ridiculously comfy Seattle Startup Weekend 2 shirts. Ping me for his contact info.)
Thanks for the shirt, Hulu!
Onto the fail. At least a quarter of the time I’m watching a video on Hulu, in lieu of an ad I see this message (click to enlarge):
Who in their right mind would disable an ad blocker so they could watch an ad? That’s just an odd request, Hulu. Additionally, I have no special ad-blocking software installed; I’m assuming the error message is because of Safari’s default pop-up-blocking behavior.

Oddly enough I am not a Hulu fan, I know everyone always tells me how amazing the site is but I feel like I can never find what I am looking for. I always use OVGuide to find videos online, I feel like they have way more options then Hulu does.
I <3 Hulu.
Do you get this problem in Firefox? I’ve never seen it before.
