Official Comedy Central site adds a wonderful new resource: the Better Know a District map!
By
We got a tip that there are available tickets RIGHT NOW to attend a taping of ‘The Colbert Report’ on September 18th (Thu) and September 23rd (Tue) on the Comedy Central Colbert Report video site.
When we went over there, we noticed a shiny new button on the site. Upon clicking, it took us to a shiny new page – the interactive Better Know a District map!
The page still seems a bit buggy – but it’s a great start! It is a map of the entire United States, with zooming capabilities, showing the districts that have been better known and those who are “Not Yet Better Known”. You can search by district, by name by issue, plus there’s a Bonus BKA’s section where you can Better Know a Protectorate, see outtakes, and more bonus material. Thanks again, Comedy Central, for giving us more online resources to use and enjoy!!
They’ve also got a video widget that can be embedded onto a web site – so we’re going to run with that for a while in our sidebar. I’ve included an exclusive video that is featured under the “Tattoo” issue on the site – Stephen Colbert talks to American Samoa’s Eni Faleomavaega about his tattoos.
(h/t Ashley for the ticket heads up)

Thank you Comedy Central!!! I have been wanting to see all of the BKAD segments so I’m excited that they will all be available online. I am going to enjoy playing with the interactive map as well.

I’m not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but twice when I tried to get on the site I got an error message and my browser was forced to shut down (I’m using Firefox). I think it’s the BKAD widget, because I used Adblock to block it on my third attempt, and now everything’s fine. I just thought I’d let you guys know.

Oh, that’s not good. It’s the only thing we’ve added on the site in days.
