Checking my links today I discovered two strange looking links. Apparently someone republished my review of Zappos (note: I they actually took the internal linking post) as theirs, which was subsequently scraped and attributed to the first person.

This left me confused and a bit derailed from my original blog idea, I forget what I was going to blog today. So I have decided to share with you an imagined interview with Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report.

Stephen should have me on for real. I haven’t written a book yet, but I’m sure that he would enjoy me. Plus he needs more brown friends, even if he is color blind.

Stephen COLBERT: Speaking of thinking alike, you were a member, or are a member of the Sexiest Men In Search, correct?

CARLOS del Rio: I am.

COLBERT: Were or am?

CARLOS: Were and am.

COLBERT: How’s that Sexy coming?

CARLOS: Well I could probably go to the gym more often.

COLBERT: How’s the new business going? Looks good to me, right?

CARLOS: I think it is going well.

COLBERT: Really?

CARLOS: Yeah, we are working on some interesting new things that should be coming out in March through June.

COLBERT: Come on, that’s terrific, right?

CARLOS: Well, I think we’re doing ok.

COLBERT: You, Rummy, Wolfowitz, Cheney, all you guys, right?

CARLOS: Well, Casey Hall, Gabriella Cook, me and another person that hasn’t officially joined. But I guess I could talk to Wolfowitz’s daughter, Sara.

COLBERT: You know Sara Wolfowitz?

CARLOS: We both went to Reed College.

COLBERT: Exactly.

COLBERT: A lot of people are bailing on this whole SEO Standards idea. But you’re not, right?

CARLOS: Correct.

COLBERT: You’re still onboard?

CARLOS: I am onboard.

COLBERT: The grand experiment?

CARLOS: No, it’s not a grand experiment.

COLBERT: It’s not? It’s a little experiment?

CARLOS: No, it’s an unfortunate necessity that you cannot allow fraudster to kill your reputation and you cannot allow spammers to threaten the Internet.

COLBERT: Which spammer do we take down next?

CARLOS: I think that we should probably focus on building better sites first.

COLBERT: Wait a second, we cannot allow fraudsters to kill your reputation. That’s a very simple statement sir, which I support wholeheartedly. Back it up!

CARLOS: I’m with you.

COLBERT: Who do we go after next? Iran? Come on!

CARLOS: Um… I guess if Iran is spamming. But I think that this is probably more a US issue.

COLBERT: Let’s get some boots on the ground, sir!

CARLOS: Do you really think violence is the answer?

COLBERT: Is the military option on the table in Iran?

CARLOS: It’s not really fair to answer a question with a question. Plus I don’t think that Iran has anything to do with this.

COLBERT: Ok. How about the nuclear option in Iran?

CARLOS: I think the Internet would be more susceptible to a big magnetic pulse.

COLBERT: Come on!

CARLOS: Maybe we could get rid of the porn. That would take a lot of the money out of the Internet.

COLBERT: I don’t like that idea

CARLOS: Somehow I knew you wouldn’t.

COLBERT: I’m a neo-neocon. Girls don’t really like me.

CARLOS: Maybe you should wear a sweater-vest.
