yeah, one thing about apple ads is they always suck, with one exception. kind of makes me wonder if there isn't some kind of "ad karma" going on. >_>
Quote from nn12000:
I love Colbert! His shows kick ass beyond anything else.
I love him too, but that love is often tempered with pissed-off. It's no secret that Colbert's character is a shot at conservatives; what's not pointed out often enough is how cheap that shot is. Colbert embraces and uses every attack liberals have been making, from actual arguments all the way down to insults and idiotic stereotypes (e.g. all conservatives are secretly gay). Jon Stewart nailed Crossfire for making political discourse worse, but if you really want to lower the level, Colbert is your man.
Which would be okay, if it were just the show. But Colbert is taken seriously as a political commentator. The fact that his fictional character has been making appearances at serious events is downright offensive. I have no sympathy for the organizers of the White House Correspondents' Dinner -- they knew what they were getting. But they were fools to make the offer, and Colbert never should have taken it in good conscience.
He's a hilarious guy. But that shouldn't be a license to get away with the kind of crap even Michael Moore can only pull in his dreams.
