“Are you ready for some football horribleness?” Daily Show host Jon Stewart asks at the beginning of this short-but-devastating segment from late in Thursday’s show. In it, he talks about the sex abuse scandal at Penn State and the riots on Wednesday night that saw students turning a news van on to its side and toppling streetlights.

He compares the situation to the abuse of children by Catholic priests and reminds the rioters, “No one is trying to take away your religion, they’re just trying to bring some accountability” to a Pope-like Joe Paterno and “some of his Cardinals”.
