If only this tactic could work for the rest of us!
During Colbert’s Tip of the Hat/Wag of the Finger segment last night, he gave a tip of the hat to ScareBear Trail Companion, an iPhone app that is intended to ward off bears. As always, Colbert gave a rather funny demonstration of how the app works and how it is intended to be used, but it was his parting statement before a commercial break that really caught my attention.

If you remember, he tried this approach when the iPhone came out, but it didn’t work then. Well, this time he had better luck...
...it seems like after begging for one the entire week, Stephen Colbert just saw his dreams come true.
Tonight at the Grammys, instead of pulling out the “Song of the Year” envelope, he managed to surprise everybody with a shiny Apple iPad.
One can only assume that the iPad needed a boost that the iPhone didn’t.
I’m not saying that I will go out an buy this over-priced, awkward toy, but if Steve Jobs wanted to give one to me as well. Still, some guys have all the luck
