Hopefully there will be a video on the site of this story, but it just aired so it will at least be tomorrow. It was a story Jason Jones did about stolen maple syrup in Canada. They jokingly treated the syrup industry as a drug cartel, and at one point they get him to try the maple syrup. At that point it busts into a montage set to Gimme Shelter that's sort of a parody of Goodfellas (even used the helicopter footage, supposedly following Jason), Blow, other drug related movies and stuff. Showing him descending into maple syrup addiction, robbing a store, being chased by police, etc. It was pretty funny. Would have been pretty funny with any other song, but as was discussed in the thread about the song being used in Flight, it's become pretty common in films and stuff, so it was the perfect cliche song for such a joke.

Yeah, great bit. Jones is always funny, but I think he outdid himself on that one. Gimme Shelter added just a little bit of extra texture to it...

The video is up on the Daily Show site now...

The Canadian Maple Syrup Syndicate

The montage starts around the 4:45 mark, but the whole piece is worth watching.
