The video, called “Stop the Falsiness,” was created by MoveOn and Brave New Films as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on Colbert’s portrayal of the right-wing media and parodying MoveOn’s own reputation for earnest political activism. The short film, uploaded to YouTube in August 2006, includes clips from “The Colbert Report” as well as humorous original interviews about show host Stephen Colbert. In March of this year, Viacom – the parent company of Comedy Central – demanded that YouTube take “Stop the Falsiness” down, claiming the video infringed its copyrights.

Viacom is upset that there is a parody of their parody? Huh?
