    That was great! To bad federal agents are probably zeroing in on his home as I submit this comment though.

  2. Elemenope   18 years ago

    I'm laughing out loud and crying inside. Is this wrong?

    I also deeply loved that little FCC Decency kick-in-the-balls.

  3. Jason   18 years ago

    Radley's on Slate. Link in name.

  4. Brian Defferding   18 years ago

    Hilarious and sad at the same time.

  5. BoscoH   18 years ago

    I don't know people, but the narrator of that segment sounded a tad sarcastic to me.

  6. TallDave   18 years ago

    Smell that, son? That's cannabis. Nothing else in the world smells like that.

    I love the smell of cannabis in the morning. Smells like... victory.

  7. TallDave   18 years ago

    Oh, and Princess Mononoke is way overrated. Animatrix was far superior, esp. "Matriculation."

  8. Greg N.   18 years ago

    This is just too funny. I'm dying here, at work.

  9. TallDave   18 years ago

    Yeah, I almost fell off my chair.

    Just remember guys, this guy really could be on trial soon, which is why you need to serve if you get jury duty.

    That was a crazy pipe he had.

  11. bubba   18 years ago

    That was hilarious, but the dude wasn't busted by the DEA. He was denied employment by what is presumably a private entity. They can make their own rules as far as I am concerned.

    And yes, the Kill Bill clip was awesome.

  12. Mononoke Hime overrated?   18 years ago

    You must mean Spirited Away is overrated. Mononoke was okay, but a bit hamfisted and too long. Paprika, Perfect Blue, etc. etc. are far superior.

  13. Warty   18 years ago

    It would have been better if Colbert had done it on Charlie Lynch.

  14. Jason   18 years ago

    TallDave,

    Animatrix is the business.

  15. TallDave   18 years ago

    That was hilarious, but the dude wasn't busted by the DEA.

    Not yet.

    Let's hope he doesn't have any dogs.
