    You've got some major issues with your math. What a terribly written article, doesn't even link to the actual Video Metrix at comScore...

    I quote:
    Hulu added some 40,000 video ads in November over October -- now totaling 1,150,000 million per month,

    That's 40 million ads over last month and 1.15B ads for the month, not one billion million as you state.
