"Journeyman" videos in the travel spot. *sigh* (image credit to Cinders)

Ok, this is getting a tweee bit ridiculous. And before I start off, I know this has been discussed before, I'm just refreshing everybody's mind.
Yesterday, I was fanpoping. I come across the link spot- And went to videos. link is what I saw. There were apple pie videos there. Submitted by Hulu.
link are some images by other fanpopers reporting this.

Hulu's videos should NOT be done by a webcrawler. (or whatever you call it) Dave, either have a manual team do hulu's videos, or dont do it at all.

EDIT: as amazondebs says in the comments, Fanpop isen't even getting paid for hulu's videos. What is the purpose of having them here?

(Another) EDIT: more of this maddness. and in link spot!

hm94991 Ya, debs. I heard that too. email time.

ShadowFlame How short. *tisk tisk* But I see your point, and it's a good one at that. I rate Hulu videos 1, I'm just so evil that way...

hm94991 *shnifle* shadowflame makes me die inside. And I agree, a little short, but I couldn't come up with anything else to say. o_0

knifewrench Just flagged ANOTHER Hulu video. I found a Prison Break video in The Legend of Zelda Spot.

hm94991 ive seen it, knifey. P.S. I emailed dave about it and he hasent replied yet.

astroasis 5 stars for you! I just made a new spot yesterday... Came in today to find it full of the most BIZARRE things. The spot I made is for Hello Kitty Online. Sanrio's new MMORPG. I've got videos now in there for the Alien movie, the Colbert Report, McHale's Navy, American Dad, My Own Worst Enemy, Chicago Hope, Arrested Development and some kind of "Solitary" thing. I love Hulu for catching episodes of my favorite TV shows... but I HATE them for what they do here on Fanpop. It amounts to nothing more than spam, really.

Biathine I'm glad someone does something about it , Hulu was driving me mad. His videos are everywhere and I can't even watch it. ( not american)

Jonapello23 Down with Hulu!!!! If someone creates a spot for it, i'll join.

hm94991 I probably would, but in the faq it says you can't create spots agenst things. no hate spots.

ineedcoffee why not just report the user Hulu for spamming?

knifewrench Because that complaint gets sent to either the F4 or the moderators; and neither will remove Hulu.

hm94991 yup. And it makes me cry. I've emailed Dave more then enough times and he never emails me back. He hates me. D*:

ineedcoffee well I did it any ways cause I had 3 pages of miscatagorized videos which ended up in my mind spamming my updates so I reported the videos and the user as well if they want they can Email me...

Jonapello23 Okay, I was in the Looney Toon Spot, and this came up, posted by Hulu. I hate this... http://www.fanpop.com/spots/looney-tunes/videos/2917135 Also, I'm trying to put together an article with links to misplaced videos, so if you know of any, post them here.

ineedcoffee for a quick look just check there profile and look at there activity section under videos it is not a pretty site they have a dog show posted under that 70's show and national treasue the movie an another show can't remember they have don it for alot just check it out it may frustrate you even more...lol

Jonapello23 thanks, the article should be up soon on the Fanpop spot.

Good Grammar is Sexy

posted by blisslikethis

Yes, yes it is.

As some of you may know, I often suffer from grammar-induced rage blackouts. These can be triggered by anything from a misplaced apostrophe to the incorrect usage of "your" and "you're". So, I decided to do something about it.. mostly because I'm afraid the next dangling modifier I come across might send me spiraling into a violent rampage the likes of which have never been seen.

I understand that a lot of Fanpoppers are not native English speakers, and thus might not have as good a hold on our sometimes ridiculously complicated grammatical rules. Obviously, I can't fault them for their mistakes....
