Foxconn, Apple’s manufacturer of things you likely own and Chinese despair, was last week’s corporate target on The Daily Show (sorry we missed it until now). It’s funny! But then it alternates between funny and Oh wait, this is true and awful. But then funny again! You need to watch this. More »
Excuse me a moment while I geek out. I was stoked when ABC2 started showing The Colbert Report earlier this year, but now that TV Tonight is reporting that they’re going to be showing The Daily Show at 7:15pm from next Tuesday as well, I think I might have to say goodbye to Foxtel… More »
