Colbert Launches 'The Colbuffington Re-Post' And Rips Hole In The Blog-Time Continuum

Colbert Launches 'The Colbuffington Re-Post' And Rips Hole In The Blog-Time Continuum:
"Stephen Colbert blasted the Huffington Post on his show two nights ago: 'HuffPo is famous for its extensive, comprehensive coverage of things other people have produced and put on the internet.'

This included HuffPo's posting of multiple Colbert clips -- which infuritated Colbert, who wasn't getting his share of the 'huffbucks' for it.

So until he got paid, Colbert launched his own news aggregation site, the 'Colbuffington Re-post' -- which is just the Huffington Post with a new title on it. 'It's like a Russian nesting doll of intellectual theft,' said Colbert. Visit it online!

To make the whole thing ever more dimensional, yesterday the Huffington Post posted about the Colbuffington Re-Post, which was then reposted by the Colbuffington Re-Post. Trying to explain all the reposting and repackaging, Colbert said he was about to 'rip a hole in the blog-time continuum,' taking us to a 'bizarro-parrallel Huff-verse, where bloggers are paid for their work.'"
