Jon Stewart:  making us laugh and coining the term
"obitutainment"

Video clip of the day:  July 1, 2009.

Last night, Jon Stewart's fake news show on Comedy Central held a fake awards ceremony for the media coverage surrounding the unexpected death of Michael Jackson.

As with all of Stewart's comedy, it's a poignant statement on our society and our obsession with the King of Pop's death.  It's also laugh out loud funny and we had to share.

Enjoy "The RIPpy Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Obitutainment."

Honestly, we feel kind of bad for NBC's Michael Okwu.  Kind of.  He did say it after all.
