THE SCOOP:

Free TV on the web!

Ninja Money Rating: 7 out of 10 ($20 to $120+ per month saved)

Television shows old and new, full-length movies and events, exclusive online content.

Standard resolution for most shows is at 360p, with the option of bumping up to 480p if the show (and your bandwidth) supports it.  Options such as “Lower Lights” (which dims everything on the web page except for the video), full screen, pop out, and more.

Doesn’t cost you a dime, and you’re not forced to register or sign-up for an account.

THE CATCH:

The occasional sponsored commercial, which lasts roughly 30 seconds in duration. I got three Target™ commercials during a full episode of The Office – less commercial time than traditional cable or satellite service.

Of course, if you have a teeny-tiny computer monitor or a slow internet connection you’ll have a wider quality gap between watching shows on hulu versus traditional television service on a standard TV set. For the cost savings of anywhere between $20 and $120 a month though, I’d still be getting my TV fix through hulu.

Almost too good to be true, for sure. But true it is, so check it out!

Yes, you are lacking in fat beats, and I am here to help.

Welcome to Fat Beat Treats, where I will (try to) open your ears, mind and booty to some of the best beatsmiths and tracks to successfully dodge TRL and the Weekly Top 40.  Chances are, if you’re getting your fix from MTV –  or a radio station that isn’t pirating their frequency – you’re double-fisting cans of Bud Light when you could be wrapping your hands around a bottle of Chopin. Or Faygo Moon Mist.

And if you’re asking, “what’s wrong with double-fisting a couple-a Bud Lights?” well, you’re in need of more help than I can provide. But don’t let that stop you! Let’s proceed, shall we?

FAT BEAT TREATS Presents…

DANGERDOOM – The Mouse and the Mask

The Mouse and the Mask

Yeah, this is an oldie, but so much more than a goodie. Combining the genius of DJ Danger Mouse and MF Doom, this collaborative work serves up serious beats for the warped minds of fans of Adult Swim and hip-hop geeks in general. The Mouse and the Mask is a 14-track slice of heaven, with appearances by Master Shake, Cee-Lo, Talib Kweli, Space Ghost, the Mooninites and more. Mixing ha-ha funny with ultra-fat beatsies, it’s a must have for anyone who claims to have anything worthwhile in their music library.

You can check out DANGERDOOM’s official website, or head over to their myspace page for even more goodness.

Well ok, not real ninjas. But stealthy, awesome folk we most certainly are.

The content of this publication will focus on ninja skills such as…

• Life hacks
• Increasing your mojo level
• Ninja style
• Fat beats
• Ninja money

…and much more.

After some careful consideration though, the pr0n section was stricken from the list. However, there may be the occasional article that isn’t suitable for young folk, uptight folk, or at-work folk. Those posts will be labeled with “NSFW” in the title, or via secret ninja hand signals.
