Ah, Cable. I may have to just unplug the stupid TV, if I'm going to get any work done here at all. Oh, well. I got to see Jon Stewart's commentary on the recent Congressional hearings on videogames, and it was a scream. His tagline: "Seriously, the House of Representatives is filled with insane jackasses."
In response to claims that the "M" for "Mature" is too vague (and, as he pointed out, entirely inappropriate to video gamers, ha ha ha), he suggested "D" for "Dropout," "W" for Wastoid," and "CMB" for "Child in Man's Body." Oooooh hooo! That hits close to home for some of us, eh?
Stewart's commentary on Rep. Joseph Pitts (R-Penn.)'s horrifyingly racist babblings was nothing short of genius, and is what led to the brilliant tagline above. It's a shame that the last part of the segment didn't make the webclip. Seeing his colleague, a "PlayStationologist," reporting Live on location from San Andreas... things blowing up in the background, her comments on how the residents of San Andreas felt about the Congressional hearings...
Sheer genius.
I was also amused to read a CNN article about the intelligence of "Daily Show" viewers. Apparently, you really can learn something from watching Comedy Central!
EDIT: You can indeed get the full segment on YouTube. Sweet!
