The point that people should realize…

Ok I think I’ve used enough tags, and I also have vague title that could be used to describe practically anything. Seriously, what is up with people using way too many (and often inappropriate) tags to describe their post-blog-news.

Is it a vying for attention, a need to have vast amounts of anonymous viewers in the vehicle of their expression? Or is it simply people who visualize their view as such an important piece of information, they must use a vast amount of tags to ensure that their visions reach as many people as possible?

Let me know what you think, and if there’s anything we can do about it?

How Funny is Stephen Colbert?

Filed under: Humour, Stephen Colbert, Television — trendyhipster @ 5:09 pm

The guy cracks me up. I was watching last night’s episode and I thought the idea of his second “Green Screen Challenge” is great. For anyone that’s not a follower of the show, his first green screen challenge depicted him dancing around with a light-saber, and “contestants”, for lack of a better word, would fill in the rest of the scene themselves. His second challenge came about because of the rock band “The Decemberists” that took it upon themselves to shoot a video and asked fans to fill in the rest of the video. So, Colbert’s idea for his second GSR is to have his fans edit him into the Decemberists video. MULCH.

Is it me, or have all the Daily Show’s correspondents become righties? I haven’t been a lifelong loyal fan of the show, so if it was always this way, forgive me. It seems, though, that they’re all pretty much Colbert clones. It’s funny, don’t get me wrong, but they all have their “Colbert-esqueness” about them.
