But the fact that the video has now been pulled and then re-approved just doesn’t make sense. I’m sure that before the Simpsons episode aired, there was absolutely no doubt around Fox headquarters as to whether or not the intro would go viral. Banksy’s art goes viral and it appears on random street corners — this was shown to millions of people. You’d think they’d have a game plan laid out on how to deal with this — either pull the video from YouTube and stick to your guns, or let its virality flourish. Not only did they pull the YouTube video (thereby breaking countless links and embeds), but it looks like they’ve also been tinkering with the sanctioned Hulu video — we embedded it in our post yesterday, and it was busted this morning. -- TV or Not TV ....
