Colbert Report Full Episodes Political Humor Jeff Goldblum

Last week a huckster from Australia declared Jeff Goldblum had died in New Zealand and media all around the world proceed to repeat the hoax. I actually saw on @Twitter that, contrary to the reports, the man was in New York City filming a tv show.

Well, Stephen Colbert milked it for all what it was worth. Watch how they play up the "if it was on @Twitter, it must be true" meme. And witness what true comedic talent is as Jeff, to wit, agrees.

QUOTES


... toy maker Hasbro announced earlier this week that they will be producing "glittery, 12-inch figurines decked out in short skirts and lace tops" that sound perfect for little girls to play with:

[The dolls] will hit stores just in time for the holidays at the suggested retail price of $14.99. "We expect the appeal of these dolls to be broad, because PCD's fanbase is just that," Sharon John, Hasbro director of marketing, told MTV News. "We expect people to do a lot of different things with the dolls, from collecting them and keeping them in the packaging to people who want to take them out and have them for their fashion and their looks." Uh yeah ... kids should really be playing with dolls that are dressed up like hookers and transvestites. Unfortch the pimp action figure is sold separately ... obvs, any thing in order to make more money.
