We recently talked about that new venture from NBC Universal and Fox that is being slated as a “YouTube killer.” Ha. Anyway, the darn thing now has a name - Hulu. WTF?

Oh… we see: “We just wanted a name that is short and easy to spell,” Hulu spokeswoman Christina Lee said. “We like the idea that it rhymes with itself. We wanted a fun name.”
Hey Lee? Hulu makes us think of Zulu - like the tribe and their history isn’t so fun. We like the blogosphere’s new nickname so much better - “Clown Co.” Read the full and funny Reuters article here.
