Advertising with a conscience about how image manipulation works to sell unattainable beauty--great approach to a "responsible" brand identity.

1.) After looking around tHulu.com we noticed a good variety of current shows. We found a new episode of The Office which airs on Thursday nights on NBC. It is presented with many options for your viewing pleasure. On the left side they list options like embed, share, and details of the specific episode. On the right side of the screen it lists options for a full screen, pop out screen lower lights or high resolution. This episode opened with a Kiva financial ad and ten minutes in we were presented with a Blackberry ad we noticed one more five minutes after that also. Towards the bottom of the page it listed five episodes you can watch from the new season. Also it gave 149 clips from The office, as well as 7 webisodes. There were also discussions included on this page. Hulu.com also offers info about the episodes like the air date, user ratings, runtime and recommended shows you can watch next.
The presentation of this episode was clear with few advertising interruptions. All of the options included are very useful and user friendly. We used the high resolution with the full screen to watch this episode. It also gave bullets on the bottom of the screen with different scenes to let you know where you are in the episode.Hulu.com is a great place to go if you miss one of your shows and don’t have Tivo.
2) When I went to YouTube.com for this assignment, I searched “Grey’s Anatomy Full Episodes” and many other arrangements of key words with the mindset that I would find a full episode. However, all I was able to find were clips from different episodes from the many seasons of this show that airs on ABC every Thursday night at 9 p.m. This video is presented like any other YouTube video on the web. The title was “Greys Anatomy Season 5 Episode 8 – Part 1_6 [HQ],” which is a very recent episode from this season. Like all other YouTube videos, I was able to enlarge the video screen to make it fit my entire computer screen. One thing different that did stand out on this video clip is that the whole time the video was playing, there was a web address at the top of the screen that said “Full Episodes @ www.TvThrone.com.” I actually went to this website just to see what it was all about and it asked me to download a video player called “Zango” to my computer to be able to access many full, free episodes of television shows. I did not trust this website, so I did not download it. A random fan, not a network, posted this video clip on YouTube, which probably explains why the clip only ran for 6 minutes and 56 seconds. Their user name is “snactec25.”

Here is the embed code as well, if you need it:
3. Hulu is more structured around tv shows and movies, and even offer channel viewing, whereas Youtube is geared toward home video-type and other short clips. However, it is obvious that they are moving more towards centering around tv and movie viewing. Youtube is providing more full length episodes of regular tv shows. Although, Hulu obviously has Youtube beat on that. Advantages of Hulu vs. Youtube: Hulu is more structured (not as cluttered, cleaner), Hulu has more viewing options, Youtube offers more of a variety, in that you can find anything and everything, Youtube does not have ads before the clips.Youtube becoming more like Hulu may become a good thing. People like structure, and providing more of that, like Hulu,can increase views. People will also possibly begin to watch full episodes and movies on Youtube, instead of the network website or Hulu because that is what they are familiar with.
