Google CEO Eric Schmidt appeared last night on The Colbert Report. The two discussed everything from user privacy to why Google exited China: “Because we didn’t like their laws,” Schmidt said.
Still, one has to wonder who at Google thought it’d be a great idea to put Schmidt in an interview with Colbert. In the end, we only walked away knowing that Colbert wishes Google indexed more images of tall women carrying heavy objects and that Schmidt hopes his company’s algorithms don’t, in our lifetimes, become sentient and force humanity into servitude.

To be fair, though, there are few who can emerge unscathed from an interview with Colbert, and Schmidt did about as well as anyone. Nevertheless, he maybe should have considered wearing different attire to this appearance, because there was definitely a high potential to get wrecked.
