Unfortunately, unless they've changed things, those sites - like Hulu - are region locked. Unless you use a proxy to make it look like you're connecting from the USA - you can't connect to the videos.

Well, America basically does own all those things (Apart from the psychological possession).

You went to war, we went to war.

You buggered your economy, you buggered our economy/we buggered our economy.

Maybe you don't own us but we are certainly loyal followers.

Back on topic:

NASA Press Release wrote:
WASHINGTON -- NASA's newest module for the International Space Station will get a new name on April 14.

The agency plans to make the announcement with the help of Expedition 14 and 15 astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report." The program will air at 11:30 p.m. EDT.

The name, which will not be publicly released until the program airs, was selected from thousands of unique suggestions submitted on NASA's Internet site, www.nasa.gov. The "Help Name Node 3" poll asked people to vote for the module's name either by choosing one of four NASA options or by offering their own suggestion. The poll closed on March 20.

"The node naming poll was organic and took on a life of its own," said Bill Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for Space Operations at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "We received more than a million entries, in large part because social media Web sites and television programs, such as 'The Colbert Report,' took an interest. This spread overall awareness of the International Space Station."

NASA originally planned to announce the node's name on April 28 after it arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. However, the node's arrival at Kennedy is delayed until May, so the announcement moved to April 14.

The show's producers offered to host the name selection announcement after comedian and host Stephen Colbert took interest during the census and urged his followers to post the name "Colbert."

"I certainly hope NASA does the right thing," said Colbert. "Just kidding, I hope they name it after me."

Node 3 is a pressurized module that will provide room for many of the space station's life support systems. Attached to the node is the cupola, a one-of-a-kind work station with six windows around the sides and one on top. Node 3 is targeted for launch in late 2009.

For more information about the station and Node 3, visit:

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they go on Colbert and announce they're not naming it after him. I mean - that's the kind of show it is.

On the other hand, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they DO go through with it.

It'll be interesting to see. And I'm sure it'll have a very very over the top reaction from Colbert either way they go Razz
So tune in tomorrow night (or the following day on Hulu or Colbert Nation.

Also, here was probably the best bit from last week:
Queen of Jordan interview

And immediately following that, the credits read:

My English teacher (who is an avid fan of Stewart and Colbert) learned the Colbert Report theme song on his guitar!

Now he is trying to do The Daily Show themesong "Dog on Fire".

Spoiler:

So NASA didn't name their node after Colbert. They instead named a treadmill they will eventually put up there after him, as an acronym.  Razz  Razz

Let's hold off on saying that outside of spoiler boxes at least until it airs on the West Coast Razz

Spoilers for NASA's name for Node 3 and the Colbert episode that contained it.
Spoiler:

Pretty much as expected, they didn't name it Colbert. And, also as expected, they gave a consolation prize.

Unexpectedly - they didn't name it the second place vote winner - Serenity (which also had geek cred to it).
They went for Tranquility. The... eighth place winner. Shocked

The consolation prize was naming a new treadmill going up the station (and being placed in Node 3, perhaps?) the Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill (COLBERT). With a cute little mission patch to with it.

The pre-announcement (where Colbert was still feigning expectation that they'd name it after him) joke was the best bit. Paraphrased...
"And one day soon a child shall point up to the heavens and say: 'What's that, mommy?' and she shall respond, 'Why that's the Stephen Colbert space node!' and he shall say, 'The same Stephen Colbert who saved the Earth by fighting off the zombie mutant horde and undead dragons?' and she shall nod and say, 'Yes son, and also the most tender lover I've ever known.'

I'm not the biggest Ben Affleck fan, but I have to admit that his interview on The Daily Show was pretty funny.  Smile

I mostly just liked, "This interview has turned out a lot more high brow than I anticipated" Razz

*replies to self*

I rather enjoyed this bit from yesterday's Colbert. As part of his "classified part series" about going to the Persian Gulf to film some episodes.


"The Pentagon has informed me that the theme song still gives away too much information. So let's run it again as per their changes."
