Hulu Commercial shows Alec Baldwin as alien
Hollywood has a great sense of humor. It does so especially when it talks about itself. In this Hulu commercial, Hulu.com basically says that they are trying to reduce people’s brains into mush. And I’m pretty sure Alec Baldwin says that they are aliens. Now, I know that they are just joking about this take over the world stuff and that they are aliens. But when I think about it, the reason why they are joking about it, is because they are actually trying to take over the world by taking control of the commercials that people view. The reason why I say this is because whatever medium that you use to watch videos and TV, has control over the commercials that you watch. So if everyone starts watching their TV shows on Hulu.com, then that means that Hulu will get to choose what commercials you will see when the breaks come in the videos. This is a tremendous amount of power. He who holds control of the commercials we watch has command of the viewers who watch them. It couldn’t get more simple than that. Watching programs with commercials is basically a form of education. You watch the commercial and then get educated on what products to purchase. All the talk about taking over the world and aliens is just a ruse or smoke-screen to the real power play that is going on: There is a war being fought over the commercials that you watch and your consumption habits. And the winners of this commercial war will not only benefit with added marketshare, but they will be able to influence viewers and friends of viewers on such a wide scale that people will just accept the new trends and norms as rules of the day. The reason why we call television “programming,” and, “programs,” is not because we are watching programs. It is because our minds are being programmed by the constant stimuli and suggestions of the commercials, both at the breaks and the ones that are embedded inside shows via product-placement.
