Indeed, it's a strange, strange world when a comedy television network speaks the truth. And makes you laugh while doing it.
Behold short video clips from Jon Stewart's The Daily Show (4 min) and The Colbert Report (1 min). Both aired back-to-back on the same night, February 10th. Both came out of the context of the massive snowstorms that have sacked the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states in recent weeks. And both highlight the silliness of egocentric thinking.
Three things: first, if you get these blog posts via email and can't see the video clips, click on the links above. Second, Hulu typically inserts a 30-second ad at the beginning of each clip, so if it does go grab some chips and a drink and it'll be done when you get back. And last, a heads-up: there's a comment in the Daily Show clip that some would deem inappropriate for little ears. It's at the 6.57 mark (pretty much guaranteeing some of you will scan right to that point so you can hear it first).
Enjoy. Laugh. Ponder. You're meant to do all three.
