Stephen Colbert Celebrates Black History Month... with "Laser Klan"

I'm not exactly sure how they did it, but somehow The Colbert Report successfully celebrated Black History Month by producing a cartoon called "Laser Klan"—in which President Obama is forced to ask laser-toting Klansmen to fight off an invasion of aliens. And against all odds, it's unbelievably hilarious. Oh, I'm still convinced that this was a terrible idea, as does Colbert's parent company Viacom. But (thank god) he did it anyway. I'll never doubt you again, Stephen Colbert. Only you can pull off... the impossible.
