Listen up, Nation: Colbert warns viewers of fake ferraris
We're convinced that some of the writers over at the Colbert Report are rampant pistonheads; maybe even daily Autoblog readers. Several of the stories we've covered have made it onto the pseudo-pundit's desk and last night was no exception. During the "Colbert Platinum" segment, which aims to inform only his overtly wealthy viewers, Stephen discusses the counterfeit Ferrari ring that was recently busted in Rome. While we were able to spot the Fiero intake manifold that gave these Faux-rraris away, Colbert suggests that the best way to ferret out a fake is to scrape a little bit of paint off the hood behind the emblem. If someone begins beating the living Hell out of you, it's probably real. You can watch the entire Colbert Platinum segment above, however, be advised that unless you've hunted a man for sport, you're not worthy.

Anyone who thinks Stephen Colbert is funny also watches Will Ferrell 'comedy' movies.
Seriously, Youtube 'Eddie Izzard' and you'll know what humor actually is!!!

Sorry, but I find him funny, and Will Ferrell movies are horrible... There goes your stereotype.

If you find Stephen Colbert unfunny, I shudder to think what your sense of humor might be like.

I actually think all of them are funny, but I do agree that Eddie Izzard is truly amazing.

Colbert is way more funny than that cross-dressing homo. Not even in the same league. That guys is as lame as sienfeld.

Izzard is brilliant - as is Colbert.
Ferrell can be funny but most of his films are pretty stupid.
And oh, Izzard is not a "homo" - he likes women (it would help if people got their "facts" straight - no pun intended).

I find Colbert to be very funny. The fact that you mentioned Eddie Izzard is interesting because he has always been one of my favorite comics and The Riches is one of the best shows on television. I think Ricky Gervais is actually funnier then both of them IMHO. However, Will Ferrell is definatley well below them but he has his moments.

Usually the only people that don't find Colbert funny are either a neocon or a liberal that doesn't know what satire is and takes it seriously (there seems to be a lot in the youtube comment section). I suppose you could not like satire in general, but that's just a lack of humour.

Hmm, based on the clip I'd say they read the Wall Street Journal.

It's obvious that the writers for Colbert view 4Chan.
