The singular of "media" is "medium." That just ruined it for me.

=v= What's to ruin? The gag was lame.

It would have at least been a little funny if he used "manure" as the
punch line.

I'm still trying to figure out what my big grammatic mistake was.
Payed/paid? Isn't that as interchangeable as gray/grey? Some of
English's subleties still bug me . . .

'Payed' is never correct.

Doesn't the fact that there are *exactly* 50 states seem a little suspicious?

According to Merriam-Webster . . . it is!:
<http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Pay>
Inflected Form(s):
paid Listen to the pronunciation of paid \?pa-d\ also in sense 7
payed; pay·ing

Note that it says the "payed" spelling is used "also in sense 7," and
sense 7 is "to slacken (as a rope) and allow to run out -- used with
out."
So "people actually payed to keep this going" is never correct -- that's
sense 2a in this definition ("to give in return for goods or service").

That was the only problem I saw. I wouldn't call it a big
mistake myself. LNER used a leading asterisk, which is almost
never called for. In fact, it's pretty hard to use one correctly
anywhere without a corresponding one somewhere else. One
example would be Nathan Hale's famous (and usually bowdlerized)
quote: "I regret have but one * for my country."
