Oh no, it's dead already!

I found a replacement embed from Colbert Nation but it's blocked in Canada. Can you please tell me if it plays for you?

Thanks so much for letting me know about this!!

"Colbert Nation has done several nods to the chans and anon in the past. Steven was holding his face so still for those few seconds that I image super impos[ed] the Guy Fawkes mask onto his face. [It] was just another way to let them know that Colbert Nation thinks what they're doing is cool and just." /Comment made by some anon on the Colbert Nation site.

Did anyone watch the rest of the segment when he interviews the journalist? There was a moment towards the end of the interview where for a single frame a Guy Fawkes mask (like the one's Anon use, from the movie V for Vendetta) is flashed over Colbert's face. AWESOME.

I loled.

I tell you what though, if I have to watch another K-Y jelly vaginal stimulant commercial on Hulu I'm going to lose it.

I don't know where micro-payments are a good fit, it is hard to beat "free" psychologically.

But we have been paying, we have been paying with our time. The economic absurdity is that my time is worth more to me than it is worth to an advertiser, I like the shows I like, I would be happy to pay for them to be made. I would happily pay more than advertisers will pay for my eyeballs. When we do the math I think most people would be happy to do the same, if it is made simple, and pleasant, and the pricing is somewhere around what my eyeball-time is worth to somebody else.

I'll drop a quarter in a parking meter when I need to go in somewhere for 5min. I do this both for the ease, and for the protection from the liability of a parking ticket. I would be happy to do the same, drop a quarter or less, for a half hour of easy to access programming, instead of bothering with, or risking the litigation from, torrenting.

i-tunes sells these shows for what a buck a piece? That's many times what they are worth to advertisers, I think knowing that is what tips the balance and makes free-but-risky a better proposition in most peoples minds. I viscerally agree with that math, but I think there is a happy medium, the transaction friction has been dropping for a long time now, I think it about time for micro-payments to test the waters, these two shows would be the perfect test bed.

What I don't understand is that so far nobody has "greenscreened" this with McCain for the Colbert Nation (if I were a geek, I'd do it myself).


You're on Videosift commenting on a Tarantino video. That doesn't qualify sufficiently in the realm of geekery?

@shuac, it's actually a reference to The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.

Wow, Colbert plays like Colbert without sounding like him.
I really thought that was "Colbert Nation" on his hat.

Awesome stuff. And, for those who are interested, I've posted a video with lots of Colbert singing very much on-key:

[Edit: Btw Dag, I'm guessing that since you upvoted that video, you don't mind me plugging it here. But if I'm wrong, let me know, and I'll edit this out.]
