Jon Stewart at the Daily Show has some fun with corporate media’s recent Islam obsession The funniest thing about the bit is his comparison of them to that dog in the animated film Up who can talk but who cannot help interrupting himself and shouting “Squirrel!” every time he espies one.

The other guests went on obsessively talking about him for another hour. “Squirrel!”
