They say Sea World whales are slaves and sued on their behalf.
They lost.
The Daily Show confronted their spokesperson about her own house slave(dog) which she claims is there for its own protection.

The best line from that skit was when she stated no where in the amendment to free slaves did it say anything about people, and Wyatt Cenac says yeah no where in the Constitution does it say anything about people- this while they Magnify the BIG "WE THE PEOPLE" begining of the constitution.

There is so much worth watching in that skit. Getting her to identify herself in the picture with her dog. The finger pointing to the collar. lmao
and the grand finale counter-suit.

The Colbert/Stewart team is great at pointing out B.S. it is just a shame that since they are comedian their issues aren't taken as seriously. I believe the guest of this particular show was talking about insider trading done by congress/senate.

Yeah. That was pretty stunning too.
They are taken fairly seriously. That recent study showed that watchers of The Daily Show knew more about current events than watchers of Fox News. I think it's because it's easier to remember things when they're funny.
