Stephen Colbert has weighed in with his take on the AOL-Huffington Post takeover, a barbed criticism of the latter’s content appropriation practices.
Colbert launched TheColBuffington Re-Post, an exact replica of The Huffington Post except for the name and URL. On yesterday’s Colbert Report, Colbert said he was irked that Huffington was getting web hits off of videos of…Stephen Colbert. “You achieved the impossible,” Colbert says. “You made me feel angry while looking at pictures of myself.”
Colbert says he hopes to get $316 million for TheColBuffington Re-Post, $1 million more than what AOL paid for HuffPo.
