Following the $315 million sale of the Huffington Post to AOL, Stephen Colbert is now trying to hop in on the same gravy train. And he’s doing it with HuffPo’s own business model.

“HuffPo is famous for its extensive, comprehensive coverage of things other people already produced and put on the Internet,” Colbert said last night on his show.

With that in mind, he announced the launch of his own competing website, “The Colbuffington Re-Post.”

“It’s got everything you love about the Huffington Post,” Colbert said, “because it’s the Huffington Post with a new border around it that says “The Colbuffington Repost.”

And yes, the website is real.
