Couter Points: Colbert - "You were right, M(R)V!"

"OMG, SPACE!" - The Colbert Report


You may recall a recent posting regarding noted political pundit Stephen Colbert's scathingly pro-Earth anti-Space rant, which, in light of our mostly pro-Space review published just days earlier, effectively drew a line in the sand between The Colbert Report and M(R)V. It was a war we never wanted to fight. We have great respect for the high journalistic standards set forth by Colbert.

Which is why we're not going to gloat too much over the revelation that Colbert is the classic flip-flopper. In less than a month, Colbert has gone from posterboy apologist for the out-of-touch pro-Earth elite to rabid Space fan as this clip from last Thursday's show proves. Not ones to be proud and boastful, we hate taking credit for such shifts in popular opinion*, but not even we can deny that this is clear evidence that M(R)V continues to prove itself to be the most important highly-specific special interest online-only consumer journal in the world.

You're welcome.
