Colbert’s Green Screen Challenge: The John McCain Edition
Stephen Colbert has issued a new Green Screen Challenge. This time, focusing on John McCain (video of the challenge is on the page linked).
Unlike his official campaign colors, which are predominantly a rich blue, the sign behind McCain was green. That may have been an unfortunate choice. Unwittingly no doubt, the green background provided a crude “green screen,” the background used in television to project video behind the reporter. In McCain’s case, the green background allowed Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert to issue one of his famous “Green Screen Challenges.”

The challenge was issued just a couple days ago, and already there have been some submissions, here’s what I think is the best so far:

This seems like a great way to bring McCain (further) into the public spotlight, and publicly lampoon him.
