You have to watch this if you don't get the "series of tubes" or "it's not a truck" thing.

If you don't think The Daily Show is relevant or informative, then you're an idiot (or Ted Stevens).

But the tubes have to move.

We have three (working) desktops and a laptop and I never see the tubes!
I've even stayed up really late to see them sneak down the chimney. I never see them. >sob<


Oh and since the thread title is "this is cool!" here's a link worthy of the label.

If i wasn't a complete nerd-snob, then I would definitely get one of the "One Laptop-One Child" computers. Of course, I have no use for one of those machines, but I think the vast majority of Americans do. And they should get them.

But chel, did you watch the clip? I mean, that's what I really want to talk about. I know the poor children in Africa are important (and believe me, I would buy the $100 laptop if I didn't work the IT industry) but that clip is social commentary comedy GOLD.

I know I'm not as young and snarky as you, but really, now, show me a Jon Stewart on the Daily Show clip I haven't seen, whipper-snapper!

Oh snap! Us young-and-snarky Gen-Somethings are always up to something and it almost always revolves around the comedic-yet-factual Daily Show.

I laughed and I don't feel guilty about it either.

Wow! That is some ballsy advertising... I love it! The YouTube video has been removed (what else is new?) but I just googled it and it's being hosted plenty of other places.

Yah, I missed this one when it was posted, but I have a doll of friend who sends me awesome stuff I miss. He also sent me a weird one for quattro razors called the fight for kisses.
I like the car commercial better...bless his tarnished heart!
