Now this is interesting. Most viewers of the Alodia Caramel Dance are males aged 35-45. Given that the clip features a nineteen-year-old girl doing a silly memedance, you have to wonder about that statistic.
In a way, it makes sense. The girl in the clip is a popular Filipina gamer, and the average gamer is male […]

Oh, this is funny. After NBC killed its own YouTube channel last year, NBC-Fox “YouTube killer” Hulu now posts videos on YouTube — with an annoying uncloseable ad ticker to boot.
