From the WordPress-in-pop-culture department, John Stewart mentioned WordPress during the first segment of The Daily Show last night. The precise clip is above, also quoted below:
Did you people know that before you could write crazy shit on Tumblr and WordPress, people had to type their crazy shit up and print it out on what was called paper and distribute it by hand, reaching only the few paranoid conspiracists who lived within walking distance of your, I guess what you would call lair.
I suppose that makes WPCandy my lair. When you have a minute you should watch the whole episode; it was a good one (on TheDailyShow.com or Hulu.com, pick your poison). Did anyone happen to catch it last night when it aired?
Any chance of seeing this clip if you’re a non-US reader of WP Candy?
Aw man, that’s a bummer. I think Hulu is the only place it can be embedded from. The original was on the Daily Show, and you can see the full episode here:

That version doesn’t allow embedding though. It’s around minute 2:35, I think.
That’s better for us non US viewers.
