Saturday Morning Levity

Not sure how long this is going to be posted so enjoy it while you can. As I understand it (think I read it in the WSJ), NBC et. al. has a team of web surfers that scour YouTube for their material and then send a formal removal request to a team over at YouTube that takes it down. I've tried to link to various items before but they get pulled down quickly.

I'm not entirely sure why the production companies do this. It seems to me that whatever ad revenue YouTube generates from these clips is fair compensation for increasing the value of the properties owned by NBC. And NBC doesn't even have to invest in the technology to do the hosting. But what do I know? If NBC would make their stuff embeddable and host it from their own site, folks wouldn't need YouTube.

Anyway, the first half of this clip is the skit, second half is some nonsense not worth watching.

Whoopsa-daisy!
