Sony Unleashes Barely Watchable Crap Via New Streaming Video Site

Hopping aboard the Hulu train (which we Homotronics have covered previously), Sony pulled the curtain off its latest contribution to the internet: C-Spot.

C-Spot will feature serial comedy shows and shorts. It's available for Web and mobile platforms across several distribution channels, including AOL Video, Hulu, YouTube and Crackle, a video-sharing site acquired by Sony in 2006. It's also available via Verizon Wireless' VCast and direct to Sony Bravia TVs via Bravia Video Internet Link.

Cool, right? Nothing like free video on the internet. I'm currently addicted to Hulu myself, having watched 15 straight episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia whilst my MacBook fried my lap and probably rendered me sterile.

But a perusal of the site offered very little encouragement. Gay Town, one of the shows, follows the exploits of some fugly straight dude feeling alienated in Gay Town, which, surprisingly, is populated entirely by gays. The "humor" is based on withered homosexual stereotypes, including rampant promiscuity, shallowness, bitchiness and fashionably tiny dogs.

Sony plans on updating the site daily to feed us drooling masses "comedy." Let's hope the content improves as the site reaches a larger audience. In the meantime, I'm going back to Hulu to catch up on 30 Rock.

Oh, one more thing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't c-spot ... uh ... a naughty word?
