More TV zen: Stephen Colbert on The O’Reilly Factor

VS

Oh man, I wish I had been able to tape this. Stephen Colbert was on right-wing francophobe self-evangelising hubris-meister Bill O’Reilly’s show on Fox News about ten minutes ago. It was gold, pure comedy gold! Colbert to O’Reilly on the Fox host’s ‘liberal’ critics:

“You know what I hate about people who criticise you? They criticise what you say, but they never give you credit for how loud you say it… …or how long you say it.”

If anyone spots it on YouTube or the likes, drop me a line. It should appear in this search at some point, providing somebody captures it.

UPDATE 21st January 2007:

Oh Yes. Here it is. Enjoy.

Quote also updated from the video - I misheard slightly the first time.

TV Zen: Trisha Goddard

Who ever said chat shows were judgemental?

For those who aren’t aware, Trisha Goddard (on the right) is the self-appointed saviour of humanity, casting aspersions on all and sundry who venture into her daytime TV fiefdom.

You gotta love the Pirate Bay guys for pure guts and obnoxiousness.

Pirate Bay trying to buy Sealand, offering citizenship:

Cory Doctorow:

The Pirate Bay is raising money to buy the tiny, bankrupt “island” of Sealand. Sealand is the abandoned drilling platform gun battery near the UK that was occupied, declared soveriegn, and turned into a offshore data-center for sensitive information. Sealand’s owners have put the “country” on the block, and the Pirate Bay, Sweden’s gutsy, notorious BitTorrent tracker, is soliciting donations to buy it. They’re even promising citizenship to donors. If they don’t get enough to buy Sealand, they’re promising to buy another island somewhere.

I can’t even begin to explain this joke, so I’ll have to let Wikipedia attempt it. But it’s brilliant.
