"In
a new GQ interview that
just came out, California Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger said, 'Marijuana is not a drug.' When he heard
this, Snoop Dogg said, 'If it's not a drug then I've been wasting a lot of
time.'" --Conan O'Brien
"I
still have a lot to learn from seasoned campaigners like John McCain. Last
week, McCain made this masterful campaign promise to the good people at Smith
and Wesson in New Hampshire: 'I will follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of
hell and I will shoot him with your products.' Folks, you just heard a campaign
legend. John McCain pulled off a triple-cross-promotional-pander 720.
He has
simultaneously hyped himself, the war on terror and the product made by the
people he was talking to. The only time that move's ever even been attempted
before was in 1984 when Ronald Reagan vowed to brain Brezhnev with a Rubik's
Cube. It's a bold new marketing trend called 'Branded Killings.' I mean, who
wouldn't want their product associated with offing bin Laden?
I know that
Little Debbie would love to have that kind of product placement [on screen:
Little Debbie stabbing bin Laden]. I respect John McCain, but I will not be
outdone. Isotoner gloves, I will strangle bin Laden stylishly using your
product. HeadOn, I will apply your product directly through his forehead. And
Cinnabon, I will give him a Cinnabon. Your move, McCain!" --Stephen
Colbert
