Oilman pointed to this first, so he deserves the link credit. Bravo, Todd – your taste in entertainment makes me an even bigger fan than before.
Like Todd, I watched this segment last night and couldn’t help but think how plugged in Colbert’s staff must be to the Web 2.0 world. Unlike so many parodies of Internet trends, I was surprised to see a gaffeless, accurate and needle-sharp skewering of Wikipedia. Watch for yourself:
Brilliant, no? I admit – sometimes I actually enjoy Colbert even more than the Daily Show. And, no offense to Mr. Cutts, but this is my kind of video… Maybe we could have Webguerrilla and Oilman do their own “Word” segment on the right hand side of Matt Cutts’ videos – I’m laughing just thinking about it.
Update: Newsvine has good coverage of the events that followed, including Mr. Colbert’s banning from Wikipedia.
