    He couldn't even make those stats funny. I've never heard him fail to get laughs that badly!

    I think he did a great job talking about transgender issues. He hit all the points right on the head and got all the current hot-button topics. I think he did a great job!

    The video is 'not available in my country' (England), which sucks because I wanna watch it.

    ah John Oliver, I love you.

    He's kinda like the straight cis man who interprets us for the straight cis world.

    That may not have been the right one anyway... If I find one today, I'll post it.

    I read "Jamie Oliver" first ^^

    that's a great vid! been hearing so much transphobia, even on two of the two support sites I'm on (including EC) ._.

    it's great to know some people have some sense left...

    It's ridiculous how a fucking comedian does better investigative journalism than actual investigative journalists.

    Ikr? Journalism is so bad these days that comedians have taken over the role... cause they're fucking better at it.

    This is why I'm aspiring to become a journalist.

    John Oliver is the man. He is my favorite satirical news host now that Stephen Colbert left, and Jon Stewart just doesn't seem to have it anymore.

    I loved it. Shared it to my Facebook.

    But then I made the mistake of reading the comments under the video. Funny how their negativity only pushes me forward more.
