> treat the slides like a ventriloquist's dummy, so that they counter your argument, mock you, undermine you.

This is an awesome idea. Stephen Colbert does this a little bit. But having a conversation would be great.

thanks, but Hulu says "not available in your country" :(

oddly enough, the colbert report's own site is happy to share it worldwide: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/21198...

It's a similar idea, but the charm of it really coming from the speaker (as in a ventriloquist's dummy) is missing.
