Peas And Carrots, Carrots And Peas

Brian Williams made sure he readjusted the American news food pyramid today.

“Jon is the vitamin supplement. We are the main meal. We always have been and we always will be,” says Williams, who frequently out-funnies Stewart when he guests on The Daily Show.

“I have explained this to Jon. Jon knows his role. I regard him as a freestanding branch of government in this country. I love the show. But the day it becomes the primary source of news for people, then the diet is out of whack.”

Here’s a thought Williams (whom I like the best out of this new generation of network anchors, by the way), if you are worried about kids getting all sugar’d up after snorting the pixie stick that is Comedy Central, how about you stop making the same stale shit for the main course? The humor is the biggest reason people love the Daily Show, but it’s gotten transcendant praise for it’s confrontational undercurrent and dedication to youth issues without pandering to “the kids.”

Example? Jon Stewart can comment on a senator calling the internet a “series of tubes” and make it look like a snide statement. You can read the same exact copy and it looks like you don’t get why it’s funny. See where I am going here Bri?

Look on the bright side, your tan looks like a million bucks and at least your program isn’t a cultural and financial disaster like ol’ Y chromosome at CBS. Isn’t that funny, in this metaphor it’s the woman who’s the shitty cook. I guess that only makes her good for one thing.
