The Colorado Daily blog broke a very interesting story about the possibility of someone being interviewed during their unique stand on Easter. Click through for all the details!
Here’s the scoop, according to ColoradoDaily.com:
Woman in Easter lawsuit gets request from Colbert
By Heath Urie
Originally published 02:41 p.m., June 30, 2009Carol Burdick’s attorney, John Pineau, said producers from the Comedy Central called this week to request an interview on an upcoming episode of the satirical half-hour show.
Pineau said Tuesday that he has received several requests in recent days to appear on national network shows, including Fox News, but declined all the offers.
The Colbert Report, on the other hand, “is something I actually watch,” Pineau said. “We’re certainly going to talk to them.”
No date has been set for the appearance.
…
Pineau said his client is “entirely OK” with the exposure, although he’s wary of the pointed ways in which Colbert often makes his points.
“I can’t imagine any attorney is eager to put his client in those crosshairs,” he said.
Burdick claims she was evicted for leaving Easter decorations — including a pyramid of marshmallow Peeps — on her door 17 days past the holiday. She is asking a jury to find that the Meadow Creek Apartments in Gunbarrel wrongly evicted her.
You have to wonder about a lawyer who counts his Colbert Bump chickens before they hatch. But it sounds like an interesting “get”, nonetheless. The article also talks about the Easter Under Attack segment. Here’s one of my favorites, for your viewing enjoyment.

What makes me laugh so much about this is the fact that my condo association has very similar rules about holiday decorations and dates. We even got several letters last year warning us that decorations pertaining to any holiday could be put up no more than a month in advance, and had to be taken down no more than 2 or 3 weeks after that holiday, or face a fine. I’m pretty sure I got this letter late last spring and it made me want to put Christmas lights around my windows just to spite them. Why associations of this type sit around and make up such stupid rules like this leads me to believe they have WAY too much spare time on their hands.
