Comments on: Denied! Joss Whedon’s “Dr. Horrible.” Score one for conventional TV… http://mediavorous.com/archives/denied-joss-whedons-dr-horrible-score-one-for-conventional-tv A blog about where culture, new media, marketing and community collide... in people's heads.

It seems to be loading through Hulu, but it works... I'm using Firefox 3 and Flash 9. The monetization is an interesting subject: when will, say, Google or Yahoo decide to sink $10 million into original creative content (with someone marketable like Whedon or a real TV star), sell advertising, and see if they can make a few bucks? They've got the portal presence to get more eyeballs, one would think. Imagine everybody with gmail getting ads on their sidebar about a new show, only on Google video? Could it work? Hulu's making some money off of ad-supported online video, even if they've reduced the ad time to about 90 seconds for a 20 minute show. But it's the same company doing the ads for 90 seconds so it does stick. It works, Brad! It seems to be loading through Hulu, but it works… I’m using Firefox 3 and Flash 9.
