On the day of Allawi's speech, The Daily Show also pointed out the similarity in verbiage with the President's speech writers .

Maybe not for 90 minutes, but for 5 minutes, it's priceless.

You can download segments from the show here. Rob Cordry's fake investigative reporter segments are hilarious and dead on.

Yeah but he made it twice in one speaking. Comedy Central's The Daily Show has a clip of his gaffes from 1:30 to 2:30 of it. I give you the times so you can avoid the satire if you want.

Glad to see Conventional Wisdom is still alive and kicking.

Yeah, about 30 seconds of American Idol or Paris Hilton makes me feel like I have been lobotomized. Thank god for http://www.historychannel.com/ and http://www.comedycentral.com/.

By the way, love your beer :)

I imagine he could find some movie channel (or perhaps Comedy Central)

Well, considering that they already have one of the best (not to mention, most trusted) sources of news in the business, I'd say that'd be a pretty good idea!

By the way: 12 minutes of your time should change your mind.

Hmm. 5 minutes of your time should show you that Kerry's about as bad as Bush

Still not convinced? Try this: George W. Bush: King of the Flipocrites

you can get it delivered right into your living room.

I'm pretty sure I don't agree with this tactic, but when you have organizations like the CSE out there trying to get Nader on the ballot for the sole purpose of taking votes away from Kerry, you have to wonder if this kind of behavior is here to stay.

Saw it on Daily Show.

The latest to go was Comedy Central. I've enjoyed The Daily Show over the Internet for the past few years, but that came to an abrupt end a couple of weeks ago when all of the newer streams were in MS Media Player format only. I asked if this was temporary, and mentioned that the link to "change player preferences" didn't work in FireFox, and their indirect reply was to change the media player pop-up window to no longer give a choice of media formats. It's Microsoft or nothing.

I've tried VLC (get audio, no video) and MPlayer, but neither work. Unless the /. crowd can somehow campaign for the return of Real streams, especially now that it's been Opened, I'm afraid that it's time to remove Comedy Central from my daily opened tab group.

A streaming video is worth a thousand words. Thank you, Daily Show!

They aren't already ?

Perhaps you missed this ad they aired last year.

(can't link the popups with the movies, it's the "Computer" clip, warning Real Player)

Actually the red cross and amnesty international had this information well before moore. And they brough it to the public. Unfortunately "some" media was not listening.

It was simply a few bad apples who overstepped their authority.

Well before Abu Ghraib the bush administration (and bush itself signed) allowed some kind of "treatment" (ah! How many words and expression had torture in the human history!) to the prisoners. (watch this).
The actual quote from the memo (signed by GW Bush) is:
"I accept the legal conclusion of the Attorney General and the Department of Justice that I have the legal authority to suspend the Geneva Conventions."

Grow up, dude. Not all nudity implies "stroke yourself while watching this." Nudity can be used as an essential plot device, to help character development, or to invoke specific feelings (shame, modesty, sexuality, empowerment, etc.) [emphasis added]

"Yeah, Ms. Tweed, we uh, need you to get naked for the, er, plot, and to, uh, empower the feelings of modesty in our audience."

Give me strength: I don't disagree with you that artistic considerations can make nudity an essential element in a film, but every tit-flash isn't evidence of well-developed, mature cinematic sensibilities. If that were the case Showgirls would be considered Citzen Kane, and Girls Gone Wild would be a powerful work of documentary filmmaking.

So, let's take a quick look at how nudity is used in Ghost In The Shell. A quick trip over to Google's image search yields the following examples of important cinematography. Certainly no untoward objectification of women there. Just art for art's sake, for us grown-up types to enjoy over some sherry. The big tits are important to the artistic vision!

Some of us adults understand this, some do not. You seem to belong in the latter group. Feel free go back to your Smurfs and Rugrats, and leave the interesting movies to the grown-ups. The ones who can grasp the concept that "cartoons" aren't just for Saturday morning kids.

Did you see the one time, I forget what they were covering, think it may have been a British royal scandal, and both Colbert and Stewart just broke down laughing?

Oh yes I did, and I think it qualifies as a best thing ever. Click here, and then the bottom left-hand corner link ("Prince Charles Scandal"). You'll need a RealPlayer plugin, but it's worth it.

Dude, I think Colbert rocks da house, too.. but that episode starred Rob Corddry. Still funny as fsck, tho.

21 percent of adults ages 18 to 29 said they regularly turn to "The Daily Show" and "Saturday Night Live" for presidential campaign news.

"They feel like it doesn't speak to their desires or interests, and part of that is just being young, but part of it is feeling like, 'What's the point of being informed because you can't change anything anyway,"

For people that didn't read the article, it's actually a new show on Comedy Central called Crossballs. It's not MTV itself, or even a show on MTV.

Comedy Central also produces the great The Daily Show, which I'm sure a few guests are upset they appeared on after it airs. (Host Jon Stewart recently jokingly asked on the show why anyone is still willing to appear). It's more widely known, though, and they seem to be open about who they are.

Equating Michael Moore Films to documentaries is a lot like comparing The Daily Show with CNN (although both do fake news...)

P.S., It's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

It is on Comedy Central its just hidden a bit (and in Real format)-- Daily Show: Corddry - Email Trouble

I just watched Corddry's in depth interview with [spammer name withheld] and it is absolutely hilarious.

One of the Daily Show's best interviews ever

Its online now at Daily Show: Corddry - Email Trouble (Real Player Stream).

(Only "The Daily Show Rocks comes close IMHO)

There's no way he still uses that email address. It recently got some rather high profile and hilarious coverage (Daily Show clip, requires Realplayer).

Reminds me of this hilarious Daily Show sketch (Realplayer, which sucks but oh well). The fact that they have almost every sketch from the past four years up on comedycentral.com has almost entirely destroyed my work ethic over the past few weeks...

From The Daily Show. It's the video in the lower right hand corner entitled "Headlines: Fox Truth Squad!". You'll find Stewart poking fun at Fox news, making a snide comment about Bush's Vietnam service, and - to date - the only mainstream banging of the drum about the Diebold situation.

Stewart was definately wearing his "left wing hat" that day. No jabs at Kerry buying a jock-strap with his daughter or trying to make an incredibly lame joke about gas prices. So if you can't take equal-time ribbing without whining to mommy - 'everybody's libbbberalllll', then this isn't for you. It does show a classic example of blatant Fox news propaganda, though.

...what happened to Cartman's father.

He wan't censored. He was able to say what he wanted and he was then fired for what he said. Many people can and do get fired for saying the wrong things on the job. Especially if it is against guy like Donovan McNabb who plays a lot of good football which gets people to watch your highlight/fake news show. And in the end the sports journalists loved the whole event because they had something to talk about for a week. Plus he has his own radio show to vent on.

2) Trent Lott, US Senate/US mainstream media;

Again, he was able to say what he wanted. Boo-F-ing Hoo that America does not value his words like John Stewart's

3) Dr. Laura Schlessinger, gay-right groups;

This was not censorship. This was people using economic pressure to remove someone from the air that was not liked enough to produce such a sentiment. If you believe that removal of a product (even media) by boycott is censorship, I would hate to hear what you think about labor unions.

4) Conservative faulty & speakers, every college campus;

Um, come to Texas bub!

5) Bernard Goldberg, banned from network interviews while promoting NYT bestseller. 6) Ann Coulter, banned from network interviews while promoting NYT bestseller. 7) Sean Hannity, banned from network interviews while promoting NYT bestseller.

Hmmm. I think they all got plenty of air time on Fox News. That's why the network exists. And cry me a river for these people who lack media exposure but are on the bestseller list!

Tell me about it. Earlier today I was at comedy central's website, and I wanted to watch some of the daily show clips. Much to my chagrin, the clips were in real media format. I gave up trying to find the POS real installer and just found some porn on usenet.
*sigh*

We have a treaty with Australia on intellectual property.

It's called the Berne Convention.

So at this point whatever it is one nation does when another nation fails to uphold the Berne Convention should, presumably, kick in.

But, clearly, the Bush administration is still trying to find "the real killers", so they don't have time to get jiggy with Australia.

Stay tuned for further developments.

Is this is a realistic investment considering most companies don't last 100 years? Given that the Internet is a recent phenomenom, is it realistic to expect it to be the same in 100 years? Will Verisign be around that long? Does this make sense?"

Chewbacca is a wookie from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about that; that does not make sense. Why would a wookie, an 8 foot tall wookie, want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall ewoks? That does not make sense! But more importantly, you have to ask yourself, 'what does that have to do with this case?' Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense!" - Johnny Cochran in his Chewbacca defense

This video gets the point across. This video is just fun.

Check out the satirical piece of the same name by Stephen Colbert of the Daily Show.

Last year a pair of noted historians did a documentry about the early days of the mormon church. Very interesting stuff.

You can watch it on Comedy Central (unless you have "the dish" of course).

Why is it that the PTT feature is always so loud? Is it simply a marketing gimic? If someone is using it anywhere in the vicinity, you can't help hearing it along with the signature beep that Nextel uses. Don't the people using the PTT feature realize what obnoxious idiots they sound like? I've seen people use this feature obnoxiously enough to make Dom Joly cringe.

Better yet, try Pop Copy!

"... and if they have Apple and PC disks, tell them muthaf*ckers we use Linux!"

Straying a bit from these ideas of putty-cameras and five things at once,

We're coming to a place in computer graphics where we can film anyone and put them anywhere with anything doing anything we want. It's up to our imaginations. And so, like so many have implied, it's the way, not the means, where creativity and entertainment potential is held. So where is the story coming from? I don't know what format will be popular in twenty years, if it will continue to be the two-hour epic, or if everyone will be reduced to a 5-second attention-span limit, with some kind of internet playlist with all the latest daily clips, each worth a laugh and five seconds of your time. What I do know, is people will still be producing these things.

I've been noticing more and more improv-based sketch comedy shows, and I really love those, being an improvisor myself. Improvisation takes writing out of the picture, and gives each actor the role of "writer" for the character they're depicting. It's a great way to keep everyone consistent with their character goals, etc. But the problem with improvisation, is unless your scene is themed (like the new Comedy Central show Reno 911) costumes or props are left entirely to the imagination, like the case in many live improvisational acts like ComedySportz, where all props and environments are suggested and mimed.

With technology capable of digitizing people and putting them anywhere doing anything, having a strong team of improvisors acting out an epic on the spot becomes more than a performance for one night- When captured into a reverse-rendering computer like used in the MR, you could give any improvised story all of the scenery, props, locations, even character appearances and final editing that would be neccessary to turn a real-time brainstorming session into a major motion picture.

If this became commonplace and expected ability from an actor/writer/story-former, movies would be filmable real-time, and the post-production team would fill in all of the specific camera shots, costumes, aesthetics, and whatnot, movies could be made in less time than ever!

When this kind of software becomes commonplace, no longer will the big movie be in the hands of big industry- with anyone able to make anything, the popular Idea will be the only element powerful enough to actually sell a movie.

I want one now.
