Tonight.
 
I hope Colbert tears her to shreds (although seeing as Anita agreed to be on it, that's probably unlikely).

Still, Hope Jon Stewart and John Oliver do some actual fucking research...

Now every smug millennial who thinks they are so enlightened for getting their news from a comedy show will be all over this. At least it wont have any staying power.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of ads if we can't see them?

It's actually a common trick. Again, gotta bring up that Operation Disrespectful Nod has a basis of evidence to show it works - it's borrowing from the same playbook as Flush Rush did, and that was wildly successful. I hate bringing this story up so much in this thread, but the parallels are clear and it's really surprising just how fucking little anyone learned from that.

Clear Channel tried similar during the Flush Rush campaign, by essentially running Rush Limbaugh ad-free in his time-slot. This ended poorly because apparently, listeners aren't interested in 2-3 minutes of dead silence every commercial break. This resulted in listeners tuning out. To compensate, Clear Channel chose to eventually run ads on Rush's program despite him having no sponsors - and often, without the parent company's knowledge or consent. Naturally, these ads would quickly get locked onto by Flush Rush, reported to the companies involved (who were justifiably pissed when they saw what Clear Channel had done) and they then responded by leaving the company in force.

Going by what we know from the success of Flush Rush, Gawker's officially entered the downward spiral phase, provided the transparency remains more-or-less accurate.
 
This should make Thanksgiving more interesting, what with my gamer brother and smug liberal aunts and cousins who love nothing more than their feminist causes and news from Comedy Central

Colbert is pretty good at pointing out people's flaws while keeping a complementary tone. Anita is a professional victim. This could be good.

Stewart's a sharp cookie, to boot. He's taken down the likes of Anita before. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Likewise, it would be nice to see Anita taken down a peg, but, if the venue is anything less than an echo chamber hugbox Anita bails, these shows aren't shot live are they? Also, 10 optimistic ratings in 8 minutes, that's gotta be a new record.

It's not live, and if Colbert didn't just nod and agree with her, I doubt Sarkeesian would have just tweeted that.
It's just going to be another echo-chamber.

By the way, didn't that Panda guy a few weeks ago say to welcome bad publicity?

True, but at the same time we have to remember that Colbert's the man who can insult a group openly to their face and still be embraced as a member of their movement because they didn't pick up on the barbs. That's kind of what makes his work sort of brilliant.

We'll see what comes of this soon. Either way, no reason to worry.

I have a gut feeling it could be damaging to GG, just like how his interview with those two occupy representatives made the whole movement look like it was filled with loons.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, he could very well use it as a chance to knock the sjw's around a bit. Maybe get some revenge for #cancelcolbert.
