On today’s show, we’ve got a new meme, new details about the Comcast/NBCU merger, and new comments from Apple dismissing Android tablets as both bizarre and vapor. Ok, guys, whatever you say.

Our hilarious Internet video of the day is also a disturbingly meta metaphor for what’s got to be happening if the FCC would just roll over and approve a Comcast-NBCU merger 4-1, like they did today: walking headlong into the fountain.

Asus, Lenovo, Vizio, and MSI have already bowed theirs, although LG is saving its announcement for a separate press conference. (Motorola is yet to come.) Plus, OnLive …
