Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Robocalls

April 14, 2019 10:09 PM - Season 6, Episode 4

Episode subject: Robocalls, their ubiquity, and how they're actually getting worse. Main story on YouTube (18m). Also covers Brasil far-right president Bolsonaro attacking Carnival for debauchery, by promoting a video obstensibly showing a man peeing on another. LWT simulated the video by showing a clip from the YouTube channel Squirting Mustard. That channel posted a thank-you response.

Argh, I've fallen behind again. Maybe if I post two at a time I can catch up relatively quickly. After today's two posts, I've got three more to do until I'm caught up. Again, these are shorter posts made with the hope that other people can help in filling out the content in comments.

I went to law school with the staffer that calls Collins during the hearing and I could not stop screaming the moment I heard his voice.
