Stephen Colbert's Meanwhile segment features news which slipped through the cracks

First, there was "unsettling news for users of Facetime, which Colbert describes as the "No. 1 app used by grandpas randomly tapping their new iPad." Colbert says that apparently a Facetime bug let's you hear the audio of the person you are calling before they pick up. He said what you mostly hear is the other person saying "OMG, just text me you ugly jerk." Don't say you haven't been warned!

The results of the UAE Gender Equality Awards were announced recently, where all the recipients were men. As Colbert says, in the UAE it is the men that are creating the inequality among genders. He said it's like giving a kid a perfect attendance award after he contaminated his classmates by giving them e-coli-contaminated cupcakes.

After a massive search in North Carolina, a three-year-old boy was found alive and well, which was happy news. However, the boy claims he spent two of those three days in the company of a bear. As Colbert said, a "snack-sized human" turns up in his woods and the bear doesn't eat him. Apparently these particular woods are prime hunting country and there are game-sensing motion sensors everywhere, but it still took three days to find him. "Jungle Book" here we come.

As if there aren't enough pills around already, due to "greater isolation" these days, scientists are now working on a pill to cure loneliness. They are experimenting by giving lonely patients a neurosteroid called pregnenolone (which sounds a little like "pregnant and alone") and they reckon it significantly reduces "perceived loneliness" in the test subjects. Colbert said this was "previously only achievable with prescription-strength cats."
