    Colbert takes on Main Street Plaza...

    I thought it was pretty funny, though I'm sure the ending will offend many.

    Agreed, funny ... How did they get the BYU professor to participate? I assume he is a really law school professor?

      Any chance the video is available somewhere else besides Hulu? It doesn't work outside of the US.

          I had the same question. He came off badly in my opinion. Kind of like, "i'm playing along, I'm cool" all the while being made the butt of the jokes.

                Play along, you do badly.

                Get upset, you do badly.

                I guess the smart thing to do is just walk away.

                  When the Daily Show or Colbert Report want to do a humor piece, and you are the butt of humor piece -- or the party being satirized -- then yes, that is the answer. Walk away. There's hardly a chance in H E double hockey stix that you'll come off looking good.

                    I will keep that in mind, in the likely event Jon Stewart wants to make me look bad.

                      Definitely. I mean, they even poke fun at Matt and Derek in this piece. It's equal-opportunity mockery at Colbert.

                        Fee is a professor I have in one of my classes. Good guy. He told us about the interview right after they came and did it. I'll have to see if I can get him to play the video in class on Friday. He has the ability to laugh at himself, so I'm sure he didn't take the piece too hard. Plus, he has teenage kids, so I'm sure he knew how the video was going to come out before he ever agreed to do it.
