The popular video site Hulu purchased airtime for Super Bowl XLIII. In the comic ad, actor Alec Baldwin (who appears in the series 30 Rock) revealed that the service is actually a secret operation run by aliens to destroy human productivity and turn our species' brains to mush. The ad aired during the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, at around 6:30 pm PST, and was soon thereafter uploaded to the Hulu website.
