Daily Show pokes fun at the Viacom lawsuit against Google
I LOVE that Stewart and the Daily Show are not only in touch with the issues of the younger marketplace, but ballsy enough to make fun of the CEO of their network’s parent company. Hilarious.
By the way, Viacom, your own people are telling you how stupid you are being. Quit suing Google and work with them. Everyone loves YouTube and obviously it’s not hurting your product. Very few shows – if any – are more uploaded to YouTube than the Daily Show and it’s spin-off, The Colbert Report. Yet, those shows have never been bigger or better. Everyone knows and loves them. Stewart and Colbert are Hollywood and media darlings (outside of Fox News, of course).
Also, I find it funny that not only are all the bloggers talking about this clip on the Daily Show, they are all posting the clip from YouTube. However, since you narrow-minded idiots will most likely have the clip pulled soon – if not already, I’ll post your clip instead. I don’t know why you insist on going through the trouble when YouTube and it’s viewers are willing to do the work for you, but whatever. Here you go.

Family Guy web-only shorts
Love the idea of creating web-only short episodes of Family Guy. Works well with their format, and using Brian and Stewie is perfect. FOX gets to use the episodes to hype other shows (like they did with The Winner in the episode below), they help promote MySpace videos (FOX owns MySpace), and they could even toss them on the DVDs as added bonuses.
Here’s the first one. Not bad.
