First Debate summed up by Daily Show

If you don't have time to see the full debates, Jon is nice enough to summ it up for us.


Perception analyzer, you say? Jon keeps one of these in his skull. And so should we.
What about the debates: almost no solutions, only words. McCain apparently kept repeating that "senator Obama doesn't understand" blank. And Obama, on the other hand, kept repeating that his oponent is right. Of course, this is somewht "biased summ-up", but probably no more biased than anything else :-)

And some reactions?

McCain: motorbike roaring i Sound of Freedom

I understand that presidential candidates have it tough now. But still, some of the gestures they do seem very dumb to me. Or shortsighted, at least. Like McCain encouraging the crowd of Harley Davidson motorbikes owners to greet him with roaring of oil-consuming machines. Like Stewart said: "That is not freedom, that is pointless sending money to Saudi Arabia."



I'm with Obama on this - inflate your tires!

Best -ing politic team ever - The Daily Show

I just love their parodies. Their overexaggerated clips show us how other media "only" exaggerate.

How to decide whom to vote if you don't care?

Obama or McCain? Who will it be? If you are an American citizen, it is up to you. Sort of. Kinda. Anyway, you are often asked to give opinion on that, aren't you. If you don't have one and you couldn't care less about politics, The Onion will help you:



Dan Carlyle and his advice - Political Non-Opinions

  • At this point, there's hardly a difference between the two parties anyway.
  • Politics today has too many labels.
  • We take voting for granted. A lot of the world doesn't even get to pick their leaders.
  • I'm an independent.
Or you can try to become member of this group: No values voters or even Citizen for Bleaker America

As always, The Onion is hilarious.

How to stop smoking? Move to Japan



Apparently in Japan it is forbidden to smoke on the street. But not because of second-hand smoking or health-related issues. No. It's because they are so crowded people would get burned. So they banned it. David Sedaris talks with Jon about how to stop smoking by moving to Japan, and has some interesting facts about Japanese policies on smoking.

The slogan you don't deserve

Aparently, republican party ("party of status quo") decided to change their slogan. Not only is that slogan kind of inappropriate since their president is serving his eighth year, but also it seems they are not the first one to have this slogan. "The change you deserve" is already taken by Effexor - antidepressant, medicament against stress.



Also, let's rememer that Jon Stewart promised that, should he ever start a war, he would stop playing squash and abandon his yacht. Also, he reminds that Philip Morris Companies renamed to Altria Group - and that way they can keep killing people.

Funny? Windows 95 explained by Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry (vitnage Microsoft 30 mins video tutorial)

I stumbled upon this video on YouTube and I cannot but share it with you. I love Matt Perry and Jennifer Aniston (or Chandler and Rachel) and so I enjoyed this weird video and even laughed few times. More info about this 1995 video here on IMDB.

Lame jokes prevail, but there are some good moments. Matthew Perry and Jenifer Aniston are doing their best to exploit their Chandler and Rachel characters.


Perry: Oh, and no messy DOS build-up!
Assistant: What is this, a paper towel commercial?


Part 1


Microsoft was obviously trying to get the attention of the youth. I don't know how they did, but I guess today they are both hated and used by the majority of the planet.

Part 2


This video provides some interesting historic insight into how people perceived Microsoft Windows 95. Those features we find boring today were amazing by then.

Part 3


Explained in this video: drag and drop, plug and play, taskbar, printer installation wizard (Perry:better than installation ogre), email, multitasking, Pinball, video from CD (remember video being something unusual on the computer?), File Explorer, fax sending, audio player, and of course, the mysterious red button.

Part 4


I'm really sorry Bill Gates didn't show up himself. He probably realized he doesn't need to make this kind of fool of himself:-)

P.S. I know this is blog about The Daily Show, don't worry, it won't change. By the way, Matthew Perry was on Daily Show, and so was Jenifer (although it is rather involuntary appearance). Also the last episode of Friend got Jon's attention. And I cannot forget to mention Matthew Perry in SNL - Sarcasm 101.

That preacher sure is crazy. But the media are so much worse...

Media coverage of this Obama's former preacher is horrible.


Luckily, there is The Daily Show to make it even worse :-)
