    Don't miss this Daily Show recall rant

    Consumer Reports News: July 07, 2010 04:47 PM

    "It seems that everything is being recalled these days." So said Lewis Black on the Daily Show Tuesday as he ranted about "government regulation vs. the free market."
     
    "Personally, I don't want the government butting in," he bellowed as images of recent recalls scrolled by. "When companies find a problem they fix it themselves."
     
    Commenting on the recall of cadmium-painted Shrek-themed glasses from McDonald's:
    "Cadmium is the healthiest thing they serve at McDonald's."
     
    And on the recall of under-processed SpaghettiO's with Meatballs:
    "Now, what will I eat when I've hit rock bottom."
     
    Watch the video to see what he said about recalls of Kellogg's cereal, Toyotas, Tylenol and Marie Callender's frozen dinners: "If you didn't know any better, you'd think companies selling us broken cars and poisoned medicines were just in it for the money."
