Colbert says Zune Ownership Proof You're Crazy

On last night's Colbert Report, Stephen gave advice to George Bush on how to go "completely nutball" so Sen. McCain can distance himself from the extremely unpopular president on the campaign trail. Not only did he tell Bush to wear a tinfoil jockstrap, he said the prez should buy a Zune. Really? Sure it's market share is 4%, but what about the new software? [Colbert Report]

Video: BumBot, the Homeless-Fighting Robocop

When the sun goes down in Rufus Terrill's neighborhood, criminals and vagrants swarm in like Night of the Living Homeless. You remember when we first told you about BumBot, the solution contrived by the former DoD contractor. "If it wasn't chasing criminals, it'd be fighting Osama bin Laden." Granted, it's only equipped with a deBUManizing water jet turret, but his dreams were bigger: "I wanted to put a flamethrower on it, but they wouldn't let me do that." The police shut down his Taser plans too. You saw the original pics, but now here's a video of BumBot in action, from Colbert. [Colbert]

Colbert: First Vid of Dean Kamen's Miracle Water Distiller

Caught for the first time on video, Segway inventor Dean Kamen presented his Vapor Compression Distiller on last night's Colbert Report. The distiller is a chemical-, membrane-, and filter-free water purifier. Kamen claims the box draws pure drinkable water from oceans, poisons—even a 50-gallon drum of urine. He has reportedly worked on the contraption for five years, but early prototypes were pretty ugly. This one looks ready for mass production, and with enough, Kamen says we could "wipe out 50% of human disease." Good luck with that, Deano, we're behind you all the way. (That other 50% must be a monumental bitch.) [Colbert Nation]

Latest by n/a: I do not recall reading or hearing that Mr Kamen has, at any point, claimed to have created a new way to provide drinkable water. What he has claimed is that he has created a new system to do it. A system more »

Love and Sex With Robots Author on Colbert

David Levy, author of Love and Sex With Robots (a book about how we're going to have sex with robots within 5 years and fall in love with them within 40) explains his extensive research with the subject on the Colbert Report. Between being made fun of by Colbert, the good doctor (he's got a Ph.D!) tells everyone why we're all going to be porking or being porked by robots in the near future whether we like it or not, and what the implications of it are for mankind. We thought Futurama addressed this pretty well in the Lucy Liu episode ourselves. [Colbert Report]

The Daily Show and Colbert Report Return Jan. 7, Sans Striking Writers

Like late-night white knights, Jon Stewart and Colbert are returning to save us from rerun/reality TV/web purgatory on Jan. 7—the news has been the exact same for weeks, right? But they won't have an army of writers to make sure every word out of their mouth kills, so we'll see just how much funny naturally spills out of their brains. I have faith, do you? [TechCrunch]

Colbert Report, Daily Show Coming to Xbox Live

Beginning today, Comedy Central's hit shows The Colbert Report and The Daily Show will be coming to Xbox Live. Within 24 hours of the new episode airing, it will be available at the Xbox Live Marketplace for a still-unknown price. Xbox Live does try to keep their pricing competitive with the competition (*cough*iTunes*cough*) so expect to pay around $2 per episode. Can we expect to see Xbox Live topping bears on the threatdown? Lets hope so—bears are overrated. –Travis Hudson
