Hello Colbert fans! If you’ve stopped by here I hope you’ll check out the rest of my site – full of info about how new tools on the web can be used for social change. Thanks for visiting!
I was wondering if that was going to happen. What a shame. It’s said every time, but really – it was the best promotion that C-Span has gotten in years. Perhaps that’s why they let it go for several days. But really, I’ve read that between 500,000 and 750,000 people watched those videos on YouTube. Go check out www.thankyoustevencolbert.org – there’s 40,000+ thank you comments so far and it’s only been 4 days since the even. (There’s also links there to the vids elsewhere if you haven’t seen them yet.) How many of those haven’t seen anything else on C-Span in years if ever? Such a lost opportunity by the company to spread familiarity with their brand. Such a sad, sad shame. Paradigm shift is underway, buck-o’s. But maybe they were amongst the crowd that thought it wasn’t funny.
Here’s a new C-Span statement on the matter.
