The Double does NOT keel over that easily. I've crash tested it many, many times.


maybe it was hitting the inclined surface of the podium? I can see it staying upright after smacking into a wall, but then the tall lever-arm has something to push against.


How much does it cost to get placement like this? Is it done through a PR firm?


Nothing - they asked for a loaner unit and we sent it, knowing they'd have some fun with it. I believe we'll even get it back next week.


on the one hand i am very interested, and want to know the same thing. even more so the "Arby's" quasi-sponsorship on the daily show, which is universally negative about the brand.

on the other hand, i like the mythical idea of them not being part of viacom, that stewart and colbert just do what they want. :-)
