Jon Stewart's Pirate Coverage May Be Late, But It's The Best
The Daily Show was off Monday night for no reason, so last night, when Jon Stewart launched into the show's lead story about the big pirate crisis that began last week, we could all be forgiven for thinking "Shit, Jon, everyone's already made all the jokes about this! Stop!" But once again TDS used their ever-growing timeliness handicap to their advantage with a two-part, hilarious pirate package that literally had something for everyone, including Muppet scat and a high-tech computer simulation of the rescue:

I think my favorite part of this entire thing was "Of course...people did die. But they were pirates!" (By the way, there are currently 161,000 Google entries for "muppet scat.")

This should be a lesson to the entire internet that just because you didn't pounce on something the first nanosecond the news broke, that doesn't mean your response to it is unfunny or unworthy of being expressed. I hate that.

I love that muppet clip though, in fact someone showed it to me on their ipod last week. Very weird coincedence.
