threat down

"Look at this little criminal. Oh, he's so innocent and helpless. I guess I'd better give him food and shelter and pay for his education and cater to his every whim until he's robbed me of my youth. Babies, I am on to you. You know what else? Turns out when you cover your eyes, I don't disappear. I'm not falling for that one again."

–Stephen Colbert, Threat Down #4 - Naked People
The Colbert Report, June 9
