Anderson vs. Stephen ;-)

Anderson Cooper Goes There: Stephen now on the Ridiculist

May 11, 2011 By Jennie

You may recall Stephen putting Anderson Cooper on the Absurd-U-Chart back in April claiming that Anderson Coopers Ridiculist was a rip off of the far superior On Notice Board. Nothing better than a ratings feud ’round here! And the “Silver Surfer” of journalism has taken the Colbert-bait, adding Stephen to his Ridiculist and claiming that Stephen has been copying him all these years!

A Tip O’ The Hat to Mr. Arkadin for pointing this out in the comments:

Hey! Did anyone see Anderson Cooper finally respond to Colbert tonight? Cooper tried to deadpan it & act like he didn’t know who Stephen was. Mispronouning his last name. Claiming his PR team had to remind him that he had ever been on TCR. But he always busted up when he showed clips of Colbert’s “attack” on him. The best part was AC claiming Americone Dream had followed Cooper’s Ben and Jerry ice cream “White Bread Ripple.” Made with vanilla & delicious white bread! It was all fairly amusing….for Anderson Cooper. :)

My favorite joke was Anderson’s quip “like you ever go outside”. If you knew Cooper like NFZ knows Cooper, you know why. And the image of Anderson Cooper waking up disoriented smelling of toner in a Kinko’s on 56th and Broadway? That’s really Fan Fic Fodder.
