I just went to Hulu to watch last night's episode of THE NEW NORMAL. (Yes, I'm still watching it--that's a discussion for another thread). However, I noticed something I've never previously seen on Hulu: a message that this program "is intended for mature audiences only," and that I would need to sign in (either through Facebook or by creating an account) and verify my age in order to view the video.
Hmm...
Having now watched the episode, I'm not exactly sure what "mature content" was present, aside from the fact that--as usual--there was lots and lots of talk about being gay. I wonder if Hulu publishes similar warnings before GREY'S ANATOMY or SCANDAL or any of the numerous shows that depict actual simulated (heterosexual) sex, not just boys talking about other boys.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!
