Figures. Right after I go off and write a bunch (OK, two) blog posts about how Hulu could be the death knell of the cable companies and possibly even parts of iTunes, their CEO (pictured above) comes out and says they aren’t a competitor to cable companies and that people shouldn’t expect to be able to cancel their cable subscriptions and just use Hulu.

Nice timing, jerky. Couldn’t have done that before I wrote all that nice stuff about you?

I haven’t given up all hope though. If I were him I probably would have said the same thing. No point it calling out the cable companies until they’re in a position where they can’t say no to you, right El Jobso?
