Games Come To the Colbert Nation

Stephen Colbert's hit Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report" has already seen some game-related activities. You may recall the day he retired his dice because of Dungeons and Dragons Online's launch, or "Everything Bad is Good For You" author Steven Johnson's appearance on the show. Last week, though, with the release of the Wii, Colbert had to "get his Wii on", and demonstrated Wii Boxing vs. a virtual Nancy Pelosi. Next Monday will see veteran game designer Will Wright on the show.

    I guess we can't all have a sense of humor.

    I get the quote, but really, from someone who works in marketing, we're really not the evil ones - all we do is look at what the advertising industry is producing and define it with statistics; we're the ones who tell the advertising agencies that what they're doing is pissing people off and to stop it. You won't believe me, but we're on your side.

    The people you (and Bill Hicks) were thinking of are the people in Public Relations. THEY'RE bloodsuckers.

    "...nothing he or Jon Stewart does is funny, and you idiots only think it's funny because you mistake smarminess for humor"

    mmm hmm. So... basically you're saying there's a massive delusion that a couple of guys are funny that you are completely unaffected by. How does one guy about massively de-frauding people of laughter?

    You probably also think he's a Republican who likes Bill O'Reilly (however his name is spelled).
