Market Research

It was instructive to watch the audience reaction to the Jon Stewart bit about the "opportunity" of the Middle East and...9-11 --The piece called, "Forced Perspective".

The audience was down with the 9-11 stuff. They've known that for some time. They just needed someone to tell them they weren't crazy.

I don't know what the fancy comedy word for it is in your little world of Schadenfreude Land, but I'd say this is a fuckin motherlode of material.

The comedian is both the illusionist...and the destroyer of illusion...
