British billionaire Richard Branson appeared on The Colbert Report last Tuesday, and, apparently, got into an altercation on-stage with host Stephen Colbert. Branson came on the show to plug his new Virgin American airline, but he didn't get a chance by the time his segment ended. Furious (or "furious"), he splashed Colbert with his glass of water. Colbert responded by throwing a glass of water on Branson. Was it a gag, or did Colbert unleash the beast inside the usually Zen-like Virgin tycoon? Witnesses claim that the incident was anything but friendly. According to the New York Post, "audience members who attended the taping last Tuesday blogged that Colbert looked ruffled and angry afterward - and that the two men sat in stony silence for a few seconds."
Hmmm, is this all just a PR stunt to get people to tune in on August 22nd, when the show finally airs? Don't give in, people: do us a favor and watch it on YouTube.
