Futurama Bender's Game

Futurama: Bender's Game is the third of the four planned Futurama films.[1]
The sneak peek trailer mentions a release date of the holiday season of 2008 in the US. An advertisement on the region 2 DVD of Bender's Big Score stated a release date of November 2008 in the UK.
In the table reading present in Bender's Big Score DVD, it is shown that this chapter in Futurama's adventures will feature a Dungeons & Dragons-like setting where Bender dresses like a knight, Leela is a centaur and the Professor is a wizard. A teaser image depicts Fry as a Gollum-like creature, while the trailer shows him as a dragon. According to David X. Cohen, the movie will be Futurama's "first real foray into the fantasy world as opposed to straight sci-fi".[2] The title appears to be a reference to the Hugo and Nebula award winning novel Ender's Game.
Additionally, Mom will make a return appearance.[3]
Guest stars will include George Takei and Rich Little reprising as themselves.[4]
A preview of Bender's Game will be one of the bonus features on the Beast with a Billion Backs DVD.[3]

He said his Mother and Brother were shot this very morning (5-10-2008) at a demonstration for peace between Israeli and Palestinian people. It was very moving to see him speak of peace in the midst of such a terrible tragedy.

Is this the event he was talking about?

Hulu.com Video on Demand Launches Tomorrow
Hulu launches Tomorrow
I got my private beta invite in January and so far have watched 49 shows on here. It was cool to watch as they kept adding more networks and content, there is no question this site is going to be a big hit. One piece of advice is to use firefox and get ad block plus then you don't have to watch the short commercials, man I hate commercials! TV on the internet seems like it is becoming more mainstream and I don't think it will stop anytime soon.
The good thing about this is that once the genie is out of the bottle there is not much that corporations can do to try to control how people view the content they make available. This site http://www.openhulu.com/ has already mirrored the content from Hulu so people without a invite have had access to it.
from wikipedia: Hulu allows users to embed their videos on external sites. A user in the private beta decided to scrape all of their videos and make a public site called OPENhulu.
There was no response from Hulu as to the legality of this, but many blogs covered the issue creating quite an uproar in the online video scene.
