The Daily Show

[Flavour]

its not 4000 words simples, its the first bit.

 

[DexterTCN]

Did you call me simples? You just lost your audience.

 

[Flavour]

its your own tagline! jesus fucking christ.

The coverage of Gordon Brown's 'Bigotgate' was very good. The animation of Brown's political soul leaving his body!

Its fun to see ourselves as viewed through the prism of American eyes.

We're wonderfully provincial! The insurmountable issue of the free bus pass...

 

[Melinda]

Szare is banned? What did he do?!

Wasnt Jimmy Carter excellent? Just so funny and on point- he skewered the current political atmosphere and Fox News into the bargain. It was the best show in a long while.

OUCH @ the piece on the UFCW Union protesting Walmart's exploitation of non union labour, at minimum wage, refusing to provide health benefits. The picket line was made up entirely of NON union temp workers on minimum wage with no benefits! Unbelievable stuff.

That was hilarious.

 

[Melinda]

We witnessed the destruction of a psyche.
No attempt to obfuscate or disseminate, just bang to rights spluttering and then silence.

 

[Sadken]

Makes you wonder who didn't get the job as head of PR or whatever that bloke was

 

[Melinda]

Did you see the council candidate whose statement of principle was 'Not the White Man's Bitch'?

 

[8den]

I love the fact that this is actually happening.

 

[Sadken]

Did you see the council candidate whose statement of principle was 'Not the White Man's Bitch'?

Haha, yeah: New Booty

 

[Melinda]

"Cos Im not the regular ass. "

There was thought behind the slogans- she was able to back it up!

Great article on JS by the lovely, gorgeous and all round wonderful slice of humanity that is Hadley Freeman

Isn't Jon Stewart on Reilly's show on Fox tonight? I think I read that somewhere... that will be worth watching.

 

[Melinda]

CNN anchor Rick Sanchez and Jon Stewart have enjoyed a war of words for a good few months now.
It seems like Sanchez took it crazy personal, and has lost his fricking mind.

He's gone a radio show and called Jon Stewart a bigot and followed it up by scoffing at the idea that Jews could understand prejudice, and then calls out all networks, including his own, as being run by people like Stewart.

[Jews are] very powerless people... [snickers] He's such a minority, I mean, you know [sarcastically]... Please, what are you kidding? ... I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they -- the people in this country who are Jewish -- are an oppressed minority? Yeah.

Not surprisingly, he's been fired by CNN.

Stewart has called him dim before, but this was a spectacular demonstration.
Pick a nasty fight, expose your own prejudices and inferiority complex to the world. Disastrous.

'Stewart is a bigot'


'Jews are an oppressed minority? LMAO'

 

[Lord Camomile]

But some of his best friends were Jewish!

Bump! The Daily Show is returning to UK TV on July 23 courtesy of Comedy Central Extra...

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/ne...show-comes-to-uk-on-comedy-central-extra.html

 

[DexterTCN]

Brilliant.

 

[binka]

i just watch it on the comedy central website with firefox using the modify headers add-on so the website thinks im in america. dont watch it as much as i used to but whenever i do it really shows how pathetic current british topical satire is by comparisson - hignfy and 10 o'clock live in particular

 

[DexterTCN]

...it really shows how pathetic current british topical satire is by comparisson - hignfy and 10 o'clock live in particular

Agreed. hignfy has definitely lost its cutting edge. Mock the Week and 8 out of 10 cats usually address many of the same topics with more bite, sarcasm and humour.

id rather turn the tv off and stare at the blank screen for 30 minutes than watch mock the week. 8 out of 10 cats is *slightly* better because of sean lock but i still don't/rarely watch it.
