twistedmentat posted:And so was the milk, hence my St Patricks day comment. Maybe it was Apple Jacks? They're green right? Oh yeah, I haven't head Apple Jacks in near two decades, that would probably be easier. I would think that just adding green colouring to milk would work so that's pretty easy, I was just amused by someone spending an hour painstakingly separating differently coloured children's cereal for a two second bit.

raditts posted:So if I understood that segment right, the F-35 is basically the equivalent of paying thousands of people to dig holes and then refill the holes, only it also wastes a lot of resources we could use for other things? Reminds me of a Star Trek story, probably a book, where a planet of people did meaningless work all day long so they could earn points to plugging into a jerk-off machine (pleasure machine, but you can't say what you mean in a Star Trek book I guess).

raditts posted:Nobody would give the fraction of a poo poo they give about either of those people if one hadn't been on SNL and the other on Loveline, both with much more interesting / funny people for them to play off of. The way I see it there's only a few ways to avoid the "punching downward" problem of the usual kind of "conservative" comedy, one being making fun of those "liberals" who in a mad rush to check the privileges of everyone everywhere or whatever and just end up being another, minor, kind of oppressor. Feminist groups who exclude trans-women, "gamers" who get furious at women who like the sexy clothes most women characters in game end up in, that kind of thing. Unfortunately that would require actual research, intelligent writing, and more than talking like a 1960's hippy asking for another latte.

While that bit might have done something the driving force was definitely Napier simply saying he's gone hungry while playing on a championship college team. Pretty much everyone was talking about it, after all.

That Colbert interview felt like one of the most subtly hostile interview I've ever seen on the Report. Started off with Will going "I'm aware of the standards here" which would have come off as just a gentle jab if it wasn't for the whole "Liberals are actually the Conservatives!" spiel later on and Will not really playing to Colbert at all. Then Colbert and Will just couldn't seem to connect on anything with Wrigley Field (bringing up Tolstoy out of nowhere) then finished it off with "Cubs won the Cold War because Reagan!" and then Iran-Contra. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of a cold exit afterwards.

twistedmentat posted:I muted the interview once suppositly smart guy Will started talking about how Liberials are the real conservatives because reasons. Did he defend Iran-Contra? Will said the Cubs won the Cold War. Stephen told Will that he would personally endorse his book if he could prove the Cubs won the Cold War. Will then told what I guess he considered to be mostly a joke, the Chicago Cubs won the Cold War because Reagan did something with the radio involving the Cubs then went onto become an actor and then President and then "won" the Cold War. I guess Stephen thought less of the joke or didn't like something else Will said earlier because he then asked "Does that mean the Cubs are also responsible for selling arms to Iran?" Stephen then endorsed the book and ended the interview. Kibayasu fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Apr 23, 2014 |

Which is good because I guess he's going to be Senior Black Correspondent when Larry Wilmore gets Colbert's timeslot and Jessica Williams goes with him to co-anchor and create the greatest show ever (that Jessica Williams part is probably not true). Seriously though, Williams should have her own show.

twistedmentat posted:The spanish construction worker just said hello. He probably wouldn't have done that to a guy or a fat lady, but at least that was on polite and wasn't "Ola pretty lady, i wanna sick my dick in your ear!" I think the point is that, even with "polite" but still unwanted comments, a woman just doesn't know what can happen if she does anything in regards to them. If she ignores them entirely, will they write it off as "Oh, she didn't hear me," or will they get annoyed because "how dare that woman not respond to my compliments better teach her some manners," or will they just call her a bitch or worse in public, and so on. If she responds are they going to take that as an invitation to give her more unwanted comments, will they follow her and try to ask her out. Or will they just be a normal person and go back to work no matter what she does. Sure you're probably going to get that last one most of the time but, like they showed, every woman in that room had a story where unwanted comments spilled over into incredibly creepy territory where you're understandably starting to fear for your safety. It just becomes a minefield where, sure, there's probably not going to be a mine where you put our foot down this one time but you've got to take 10,000 steps to get out and the odds are going to catch up to you eventually.

It's really hard to fathom how O'Reilly can sleep at night when someone like Bryan Stevenson can come on the Daily Show immediately after O'Reilly did, talking about the history of and present day conditions of race relations in such a frank manner. Oh right, money.

Justin_Brett posted:I'm not really part of that movement but I've been following it since it started, and that first segment was pretty bad. It bought into the idea that it started as an excuse to harass women rather than people being upset at a part of journalism that's lovely. I'd expect Colbert's team of all people to maybe hit on that rather than basement dwelling nerds harassing women, but I guess not. Kind of disappointing. All the other kinds of enthusiast "journalism," whether that's boats or motorcycles or whatever, pretty much all have these exact same issues and they seem to be able to operate relatively fine and occasionally deal with these issues without their fans being noticed for harassing and stalking women on an international scale so maybe just, you know, not harass and stalk women or support a useless twitter "movement" that does. Christ I hate that I like video games.

Wasn't Colbert (and Stewart) already getting paid millions for the Report? I'm not going to say it wasn't about the money because the money for late night talks shows has to still be at levels but I'm more inclined to believe it was just "Well, I've been doing this bit for almost a decade, time to do something else." Though the money probably makes it easier to make a decision like that.
