Stephen Colbert & the Domino’s Pizza Drone
Is there really a Domino’s Pizza Drone? Unbelievable.
From Eater: “Last night on the Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert explored Domino’s new robotic pizza delivery technology. According the news clip sampled, thesmall, unmanned, helicopter-like machine ”can deliver two large pizzas in ten minutes in a four mile radius.” Colbert praises Domino’s for “innovating new ways to make food get in my face.” He also praises the “pizza drone“ itself for being ”a great way to make our drone program more appealing to Americans. Because no one likes the idea of US citizens being targeted with Hellfire missiles, but who wouldn’t want want to be targeted with a Cali Bacon Chicken Ranch?” READ MORE

Stephen Colbert’s rant on McDonald’s
Eater posted Stephen Colbert’s piece earlier this week about McDonald’s slightly condescending website devoted to teaching employees how to “budget" their earnings. I say slightly condescending because when someone puts up a video telling you that if you buy $1 worth of candy each day, that equals $365 a year, it feels like McDonald’s doesn’t think that their employees know how to do simple math.
From Eater: “Last night on the Colbert Report, comedian Stephen Colbert addressed McDonald’s efforts to provide financial guidance to its workers with a website providing handy budgeting worksheets. Colbert explains: “Instead of raising salaries, they’re giving their workers something more valuable than money: A website.” He goes through the suspicious math of McDonald’s sample budget and concludes the fast food giant’s assertion that “you can have almost anything you want as long as you plan ahead and save for it" works, “unless the thing you want is money.” READ MORE

The Best Pig?
I posted a New York Times article a week or so ago about Carl Edgar Blake and his quest to make the perfect pig. He matched a Russian wild boar with a Chinese pig that he had read about on the interwebs - in 1821 King Wilhelm from Germany bred these two pigs and started winning contests with what was called a Swabian Hall pig. Now Carl is winning awards all over the country with his Iowan Swabian Hall pig.
Stephen Colbert holds an Iowan Swabian Hall piglet while eating prosciutto. Hysterical.
