When billionaires go wild! Spoiled little brat Branson got all upset that his hopes for free publicity for naming a plane after Colbert backfired decided to douse the host with water.

    Is that what all the fuss was over???

    That seemed like a improvised harmless little jest with some water.

  2. John says:

    No, you’re wrong. He didn’t. It was a ‘joke’.

  3. MattFM says:

    Yeah, big fuss over nothing. It all seemed good natured and neither seemed particularly bothered. Oh how the media like to spin things! Good on the both of them.

  4. segaprophet says:

    The fuss was over the water throwing argument in their first interview, which was never aired, this is the re-taped interview, which is obviously of a more jovial tone.

  5. Evan says:

    Improvised to me and not ill-natured. Meh.

  6. Adam Jackson says:

    GOOD! Colbert is a dick and I’m tired of seeing his poor excuse for comedy in these interviews when really it’s just cutting down people that were “invited” onto the show. he invites someone on the show then completely tears them down. It’s not funny and Richard Branson was the right man for the job to do this.

  7. Evan says:

    I am almost certain people know what they are getting into when they go to the show. Not only that, Stephen Colbert on the show is a character, in case you weren’t aware.

  8. Lies!

    And I’d be honoured to be doused in water by a billionaire. :D

    @ Adam

    You obviously miss the entire point of the Colbert Show.

    Most of the people on his show are liberals and he plays devils advocate to the extreme to make fun of conservatives.
