Strange Bedfellows

I was on the website www.hulu.com where you can watch movies and TV shows online for free.
I was scanning the movies list when I saw the movie "Xanadu."
.
.
I must admit that I love this crap-tastic movie. It is one of my all time favorite "Guilty Pleasures." You know what I mean by guilty pleasure, don't you? It one of those things that you watch when no one else is in the room. If someone comes in and catches you watching, for example: "The Girls Next Door" or "Cheaters", you say you were flipping through the channels and just happened to stop there for a second. In reality, you had been watching an all day marathon, but you would never admit it, in a million years.
.
Anyways, I hadn't seen Xanadu in years, so I clicked on the watch movie link and the movie started. When the videos on Hulu start, they always say, "This presentation provided with limited commercials from: (insert company or product).
.
So whose commercial would you never guess would be the sponsor of,
"The gayest movie musical in the history of film musicals" ...
.
Yes, The U.S Army.
.
Why, in the hell would anyone that was watching a 80's Roller Disco Musical with the songs of Olivia Newton-John be in the slightest bit interested in joining the Army. The irony of it all was overwhelmingly hysterical. After 10 minutes of watching the gloriously bad movie, the second Go Army ad ran and I had to hit stop.
.
I will try to get my Xanadu fix another day.
.
In the meantime, I saw that Hulu has added "Hole In The Wall."
I am dying to watch it.
All alone of course.

OMG I have so many of those "I was just channel surfing" shows and movies that I don't want to get caught watching. But aint they fun?
Or when I get hung up on a movie that I just have to watch over and over again and don't want anyone to know that I am watching it cause I have watched if fifty times already so I plan it for a time I am sure no one is going to drop by. "Big Eden" to name one and right now it's "Pride and Prejudice.
