The legal spate between Viacom and Google over clips on YouTube has generated acres of coverage. For one of the best illustrations of how ridiculous the whole thing, head over to The Daily Show.

In a section labelled “Professional Important News”, it exposes how silly the whole thing is. The clip, is of course, available online. But Viacom would rather you watch it at Comedy Central, than search for it on YouTube.

You can also find the ciip at Lost Remote, which uses Comedy Central’s embedded player.

(WordPress doesn’t like people inserting video code in blogs it hosts, so unfortunately the clip is a click away).
