Stephen Colbert



These two girls in the metro, it seemed too young to get the sarcasm of the mostly American political commentary, too hippie to care, too French to be able to get it, were reading I am America and So Can You by Stephen Colbert... In my stereotype hyped head I was thinking, these girls have been speaking French with not one word of English, how can they possibly understand this book? But I think they did understand, maybe not all, but more than my stereotypes would allow...
"do not jiggle jello?"
one girl read out loud...
