Satire king Stephen Colbert burned the Sun-Times in Wednesday's episode of The Colbert Report for the newspaper's decision to lay off its photo staff, as many as 30 people. The newspaper plans to have wordsmiths use iPhones, giving them basic training, but only the basics — "like pressing a button," Colbert joked.

Our favorite quips:

"A picture is now worth about 37 words."

"Oh, YOLO the humanity."
