Consumer Reports and Stephen Colbert



Where to begin?

Stephen journeyed last week to interview Liam McCormack at Consumer Reports. One of the first things he asked was if he could call him Larry. In subsequent interviews, he basically called everyone Larry. Stephen was skeptical, but perhaps that's just Stephen being cautious.

I think after all the interviews, all the discussion, all the hesitancy, most likely Stephen came away with a renewed respect for all the work that is done on behalf of consumers.

Interestingly enough, this photo of the magazine was taken on a deck. In the very issue is a report on deck materials. Oh the irony. And yes, they do also evaluate irons, but not in this issue.

You can find a little info about Stephen's visit to Consumer Reports here.
