Stephen Colbert may have crossed the streams.
Earlier this week, Colbert poked fun at the Huffington Post for aggregating original news from other sites, announcing the creation of his own site, The Colbuffington Re-Post, an identical copy of HuffPo with his title pasted across the top. Naturally, HuffPo then wrote a story about Colbert’s site — which was then automatically re-posted on Colbert’s site.
You can see where this is going.
“If you were to click on the link to the Colbuffington Re-Post’s re-re-post of the Huffington Post’s post about the Re-Post, you will rip a hole in the blog time continuum,” Colbert warned.
“We could all get sucked into some kind of bizarro parallel Huffing-verse where bloggers are paid for their work,” he added.
