Stephen Colbert Asks “Why Can’t Jesus Be A Dorito™?”

 

Last week we drew attention to a reasonably absurd debate hosted by Megyn Kelly regarding a fan-created Doritos™ advertisement and whether it was blasphemous. Last night, Stephen Colbert pointed out that Doritos™ never intended for this advertisement to air, and thanked Ms. Kelly for airing the ad, giving Catholics the opportunity for outrage.

Watch the very funny segment from Comedy Central that starts with classic satirical media criticism and ends with a dadaist fight between Colbert and a live Big Gulp™ character.
