Sadly, the Comedy Central site blocks video for visitors outside of the US.
Well that sucks. Find a US proxy server?
No they dont. I’m streaming the full episodes of both the daily show and the colbert report just fine from Sweden.
I’ve had some flash issues in Iceweasel on debian, but on my ubuntu lappy it works well.
Sadly, the Comedy Central site crashes the browser for me – Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.04 – with a Segmentation fault, 100% reproducible.
Pretty sure it’s the Flash plugin’s fault. Crash report submitted, but it’s likely Adobe’s problem, alas.
I just tried with Firefox 3.0 + Gnash, and while the video did not work, the browser also did not crash. I have grown to utterly despise Flash, and Adobe by association.
Heh, that was amazingly disgusting. Hint: if you do not care for all the leftist garbage he’s spewing, skip past the second black tick at the progress bar. BTW, plugin works fine here on Rawhide (FF3 Minefield 64-bit and nspluginwrapper) with Adobe yum-driven install.
Works from Finland, Iceweasel on Debian Unstable.
The guy’s really funny, but I got quite disgusted by the ridiculous abundance of American propaganda. Gee, the amount of American symbols! Stripes, starts, eagles pictured literally everywhere.
That’s the first time I saw that show, so this whole thing might very well be ironic, or at least I hope so. I hate it when Colbert says something on the line of “isn’t it the final goal? To get rich and famous and crush the others?”.
It’s satire and you may be too.
Oh noes! Leftists! AIIIEEEEE
