The Colbert Report Crushes the Microsoft Zune

by , 12:20 PM EDT, August 18th, 2008

Last week, in the process of explaining how the "kill switch" on the Apple iPhone is actually designed to kill the user, Stephen Colbert added that the Microsoft Zune can't hurt anyone. In fact, it can't do anything at all.

The iPhone and Zune section comes at 5m 40s in the video below. Adobe Flash is required to view.

Mr. Colbert's antics and melodrama make for a hilarious, skewering of the Microsoft Zune and a classic iPhone comedy piece.

Thanks to Todd Bishop's Microsoft blog for the head's up.
