That Conan O'Brien is one funny dude...

Newsweek is featuring a hilarious article by Conan on The Future of Television, which includes such prognostications as:

Manufacturers will even place a small plasma screen inside car airbags so that accident victims will have something to watch while they wait for help. Toddlers' bowls will have a television at the bottom, and children will be encouraged to eat all of their mush so they can see Morley Safer. Televisions will even be placed inside books and, before long, books will evolve into no more than hundreds of small flat-screens stapled together. Reading the opening chapter of "Moby Dick" will include watching 10 hours of "Gunsmoke."

Funniest thing I've read in quite some time. The only thing he's missing is a television implanted directly into the back of my hand.

And kudos to the Newsweek editors for allowing Conan to also make a dig at the hole "Quran went down the toilet, oops, wait, no it didn't" debacle.
