Jon Stewart on the "Stupidest" Controversy of the Year

Last night, Jon Stewart interviewed The Daily Show’s resident deranged millionaire, John Hodgman, on the Muppets communist leanings. If you recall, there’s been a minor uproar on Fox Business (NWS) over the villain in the Disney (DIS) film The Muppets -- a wealthy oil tycoon that some people feel presents an unfair image of businessmen.

Hodgman reminds us that Hollywood has always shown rich people in a negative light. To solve this problem, he has remade several old movies and removed their anti-rich bias. His choices include It’s a Wonderful Life -- which is now much, much shorter -- and Profitar, a story of intergalactic capitalism where free market forces reign and wealth trickles down.

The clip is below.
