The US Navy is a primary sponsor of “Con.”
I’m sure they are there for the demographics of young male viewers, but the irony of a branch of the US military sponsoring a show like this could not escape me. Here’s a description of the show from Comedy Central’s web site:

Skyler Stone is a con artist.
And he's going to show you how you can be one, too.

From strolls down the red carpet to a singing gig at a baseball game, Skyler Stone can get anything he wants for free. Why? Because he's a con man. And his new show is about showing you how you can live the con lifestyle, too! This half-hour reality series finds the ever-charming Skyler Stone conning his way through life, documenting the entire process of executing his next "hit." Each episode features a new scam, a new mark, and a new perfect con for the history books.

Me again, I love that last line about a “perfect con for the history books.”

1. "ever-charming Skyler Stone conning his way through life..."
Ah, yes. Those who lie and cheat and steal are so charming... just like our current war criminal in office, the chimpster.
