add this to the highlight reel

Someone better add this to You Tube:  the clip from tonight’s Daily Show when Ed Helms managed to lure Mark Crispin Miller into an argument over whether Oscar the Grouch eats plastic bottles.  There was this perfect moment when Miller snapped out of his 15-minute induced haze and realized just how foolish he must look countering Helms’ argument that Oscar could in fact replace the trash collection service in Dish, Texas.

Quick, someone order me a copy of Boxed In:  The Culture of Television.  Must be a fantastic read.
