Udi's Puts Colbert "On Notice"

My jaw dropped the other night while watching The Colbert Report when I saw a joke showing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad endorsing Streit's Matzos.  Udi's Granola has been using a ringing “endorsement” by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in advertisements in Jewish magazine HEEB since 2007. The ad features a photoshopped picture of the Holocaust denier eating a delicious bowl of Udi’s Granola under text reading: "Israeli-born Udi Baron makes a granola so delicious, nobody can say no."

Last week, Comedy Central’s popular The Colbert Report featured a joke in which Ahmadinejad endorsed Streit’s Matzos, exclaiming "Even I can’t deny it’s delicious!"

Coincidence? We think not.

That’s because last summer, just before the Democratic National Convention rolled into town, Stephen Colbert called us Denver residents a bunch of “granola snarfing” hippies. In response, Udi’s Granola sent him a care package that included granola samples, along with the HEEB Ahmadinejad ad – and all we got in return was a polite “thank you.”

HEEB couldn’t let the similarity slide, calling it “uncanny” in a blog posting on Wednesday, March 18. Click here to see the full text:

Udi’s Granola just had to respond.

So “Granola Tycoon” (that's me!) - posted this response on The Colbert Nation forum, officially putting Stephen Colbert “on notice” to fess up to borrowing the idea:

Will the show respond? Stay tuned!  In the meantime, take a look at the two ads side by side and you be the judge.

I love Colbert, but I love your granola more! Shame on them! In fact, I just finished a bag as I'm typing this!

Lace front wigs are available in a wide range of colors and textures such as straight, wavy, body wave or curly. These wigs come in any length ranging from short crop to super long. The majority of people who purchase these wigs get them custom made to fit their exact head measurements. If you order a custom lace front wig unit you should expect to wait 4-6 weeks on average to receive your wig. Some lace front wig retailers do offer non-custom stock units in a variety of different measurements, but if it is your first time buying a lace front wig, it is not recommended that you buy a stock unit unless you are actually able to try the wig on first to insure that it fits perfectly. When you spend several hundred dollars on a wig you deserve a perfect fit! A custom lace front wig unit tailored to your exact head measurements in which you choose the color, highlights, length, hair texture, hair density, lace type and more is worth the wait!

Besides that Colbert had originally planned to run for both the Republican and Democratic nominations in his home state of South Carolina.
