Colbert doesn't want his likeness on just any old Iranian product

It's perfectly OK for Stephen Colbert to endorse Slice, Doritos, Spider-Man comics and a dehydrated Colombian energy drink, but it's another matter entirely when somebody steals his likeness for an ad, or as the late-night host said Thursday night, tries to "take a ride on the Colbert turnpike without paying the toll." How dare they?
  Colbert found out that a clothing store in Iran was using a purloined photo of his mug to promote a 20 percent off "Persian New Year" clothing sale. He'll have no part in advertising these "slacks-es of evil," he said, and came up with a tit-for-tat sponsorship (of a fake product) for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. That must be the Colbert equivalent of a cease and desist. Watch the video—you'll be glad you did.
