News Corp., NBC Name Their Web Baby

Am I getting old or are things just getting dumber? Don't answer that. I won't want to know either way. News Corp. and NBC Universal announced the name of their jointly ventured online video site: Hulu.
Arrington says</a> it also means "butt" in Indonesian. <br /> <br /> It took them nearly half a year to come up with the name, so they're all most likely giving us the finger right now for making fun of them – besides, there was most likely a focus group involved. <br /> <br /> And hey, we said the same stuff about the Wii, didn't we? <br /> <br /> If you want to check out <a href="http://www.hulu.com/'>Hulu</a>, you're out of luck for now. You can look at the TV show promo thumbnails while you sign up for the private beta that begins in October. <br /> <br /> Hulu has some impressive distribution partners, with one notable absence. I'll list them here: AOL, Comcast, MSN, MySpace, and Yahoo. Can you guess who's missing?</p></p> </div> <script> (function() { function initCopyableSections() { document.querySelectorAll('.article-content .copyable-section').forEach(function(section) { if (section.querySelector('.copyable-section__btn')) return; var btn = document.createElement('button'); btn.type = 'button'; btn.className = 'copyable-section__btn'; btn.setAttribute('aria-label', 'Copy to clipboard'); var label = section.getAttribute('data-copy-label'); btn.textContent = label ?
