I think they do (desktop only), I watched Ecce Mono there.
I know they have CBS (desktop) but its not really on Hulu they take you to the show's page on CBS and for ABC Family they ask you for your cable provider information.
So I went to the store to pick up some things for easter and I had dropped my keys while I was waiting in line and I bent over to pick em up and I turn around and these two girls were checking out my ass. They were giggling and everything
I got all shy and my face turned red. Messss...
That was the only interesting thing to happen to me today so I thought I'd share.

I was watching Britains Got Talent and literally every teenage boy with wavy hair was getting screams and all the attention, it's boring, i'm not here for all these 11 year olds being famous for nothing.
I agree so much. I hate the fact that when future generations look back at our music they're just gonna see a bunch of pretty boys (and girls) that had little to no talent. It's taken over the industry; and the poor people with ACTUAL talent are getting pushed aside because they don't match a certain "look" or won't appeal to tween girls.

Oh Yeah, it bugs me too when people who have no discernible talent whatsoever get famous solely on their looks

It's always been like that though. Before One Direction were the Backstreet Boys and before them there were the New Kids on the Block and before them there were the Osmunds and before them were the Monkees. They're largely forgotten over time though (well, aside from the Monkees, but I suspect that's only because they peaked in the '60s and people like to act like all popular music back then was good). Meanwhile the Velvet Underground, Kraftwerk, Sonic Youth, and Kimbra were totally slumming it. It's not fair, but it's nothing new, either.

That's true, but I just feel like it happens more frequently today. Maybe that's because I've only lived in this generation. Anyway, with the rise of technology and the Internet, you'd think that a lot more artists with raw talent would be able to get discovered. That's been the case for a few acts, but overall they are still being overshadowed to an unacceptable degree. I mean- with BSB and *NSYNC it was okay (to me) because they were legitimately talented. Sure, they looked great but they also had the talent to back it up. I feel like there are just way too many artists today who are signed only because of their looks.
Mess, a lot of people thought I was a girl just because I always had Kylie avi's and i'm so nice and kind
I just assume everyone here is a gay man until they say otherwise.

I mean- have you seen the The Janoskians?
I find it INSANE that these kids have more priority on their labels (Sony) list than some other artists who are, despite being signed, still struggling. I know that's the business and that's how it'll always be, but it's just sad to see how far this bias has gone. As long as their making money, they don't care what kind of bs they're producing.
ddd I misread your post at first and I thought you were calling The Janoskians super talented and then I watched the video and I was like .
But anyway, I do think that the major labels have, to a slight degree, shifted more toward aesthetic over music in their marketing in the last ten or twenty years, but I think that the Internet has also given rise to more vectors of exposure for indie acts. Before the internet, minor acts were very restricted in how they could promote themselves, but now that sites like Pitchfork and services like iTunes and Spotify exist, there are actually more ways for less popular acts to promote and make money, which help them find what I'd imagine is far more success than they'd have found even like twenty years ago. There's no way I'd have heard of 90% of my faves without the Internet. Instead, I'd probably be listening to whatever's on Top 40 and Alternative radio.
