Embedded Videos Are The Worst

This evening, I was reading several older posts and noticed something pretty annoying. Of the posts I read having embedded videos, all videos hosted by non-YouTube sites (e.g. Hulu) no longer worked. So very frustrating. A lot of those videos were pretty funny, such as Christopher Walken's "Googly Eyes Gardner" from SNL (apparently now available on Yahoo).

The following will be futile, but here goes:

Dear Hulu, stop pulling videos from your service. Everyone hates it when you do that. Thank you.
