Jon Stewart On U.S. Apology For Guatemalan STD Experiment: ‘Syph Happens’ (VIDEO)

Last night, when Jon Stewart heard about America’s apology to Guatemala for something that happened over 60 years ago, he was at first relieved: “I’m so glad it wasn’t the atomic bomb thing.”

But he was a little less relieved when he heard that the apology was for intentionally and secretly infecting people with STDs. In a segment called “syph happens,” Stewart said: “By the way Guatemalan syphilis experi-mint — worst Ben and Jerry’s flavor ever.”
