Okay, so... A few months ago, a bunch of Stephen Colbert fans started modifying footage of Stephen rolling around in front of a green screen, flailing a light saber, to make fun videos. Y'know. Just for kicks. Somehow, the folks over at The Colbert Report caught wind of this and made it into an official Green Screen Challenge. The difference? Capitalization. The Challenge was a big hit... and it seems like indie group The Decemberists are looking to get a little green screen action too, through their new contest, Re-animate The Decemberists, in which fans download footage of the band playing in front of a green screen and create their own video.

Colbert called the band out in an episode last week, accusing The Decemberists of riding on his coat-tails. He then instructed the Colbert Nation to enter The Decemberists' contest, but work in his green screen footage from the first Challenge to tear down the band. Oh snap! But wait. There's a second, unexpected snap...
