That Steven Colbert, I tell you sometimes I don’t know about him. I mean it’s like he’s never heard of George Carlin. Really? Oh, Colbert, sometimes you’re just funny.

I love Colbert and the fact that he's on hulu, and that you can customize your own clips and embed them. The only downside is the “U.S. only” restriction. I hesitate to use hulu on my blog – I'm trying to appeal to a global audience. But still, hooray for Colbert!

It's a shame I live in the UK. Hulu looks like a great service *wants to watch*

Also, nice inclusion of Disqus commenting. How did you change the colouring scheme? Me likey :-D

I didn't change anything, it just worked out of the box. The only CSS hack need was for the sidebar widget.

Yeah, what gives? How come Hulu only streams to the US? Have I just stumbled into the dark ages of web 2.0? Bring on international streaming! :o)

That's weird! :-O I love the dark theme. Maybe the title bars are partially transparent, so on white they seem lighter, and on black they seem darker. Hmm.

hmm, never used videosift before, but that's where the Colbert clip showed up first…for us global peeps… we thinks 2.o always heading more towards a gated community development , but yeah maybe HULU will wake up and make the leap… or could it be the corporate content managers are holding them back

Yeah, I'm in Canada, and hulu.com just made my Enemies list. It'll come off when Bears come off Colbert's; location based restriction is a pain.
