Intellectual Dissonance

[Jay 2K Winger]

So I recently got into Q.I., which of course is quite interesting (haaaaa), but the complication I have is that while I found a YouTube channel that had uploaded complete episodes, many of them are "not available in your country."

Then I found out that Hulu has full episodes of Q.I. available, on Hulu Plus, at least, albeit only from Series I and Series J. Nevertheless, I started watching the episodes from that point forward.

Hulu intersperses ad-breaks into every show you watch, usually tailored to your location and/or the show. Most of the stuff I watch on Hulu at present is WWE-related (since Sleepy Hollow hasn't started up again, and Siberia is done), and yet when I loaded up Hulu, one of the ads I saw was for The Real Housewives reality series(es) which is now available on Hulu.

The intellectual dissonance between Q.I. (quite interesting and brainy and funny) and the Real Housewives (concrete proof that society needs a culling) nearly made my head explode.

When we watched a series on Hulu, most of our ads were for some Viagra like medication.

When we watched a series on Hulu, most of our ads were for some Viagra like medication.

I get three ads per break. One is usually for the Virginia Lottery, featuring "Game Guy," who goes around playing strange 'games' or sports at places around Virginia. (The three latest are him playing Water Hockey, racing Hermie Sadler on cooler scooters, and playing Buck-Buck.) One is for "The Real Housewives," and the third is for Skyn Condoms.
