I like the stuff John Oliver reports on, I just don’t like the way he presents it.

Fun pyramid scheme story. Went to hang out with some friends one day and a table selling some energy drink had been set up in the music building of the university. They were trying to get people involved in the selling of the drink, classic pyramid scheme stuff, including that you’d be able to afford a BMW one day.

I looked at my buddy and went, “do you think they registered to use this space?” He looks at me and goes “you know, I don’t think so.” To which we agree to go to the office for the building and let them know that there were people selling stuff and how it could be disruptive to the auditorium in the hall they were set up in. The people in the office had no clue about the table, they went over and basically said they’d call security if they didn’t leave.

The folks looked pretty mad at us as they packed up and left, but hey, that’s how it goes. I think there might be a moral to this story, but I can’t think of one.

Well, good for you for getting asking them to follow the rules.

And I agree Oliver’s presentation can be a little tiresome sometimes, but the writing is pretty sharp at least, and he doesn’t take himself too seriously it seems.

If only my garage wasn’t so full of “product” so I could park that beauty in there!

Does that guy look like a bad Elvis impersonator, or what?

I’ve warmed up to him. I initially wrote him off as “oh wow, another uppity Brit who thinks his role in life is to tell Americans what to do.” But I can’t find too many flaws in the things he’s pointing out.

At this point, my only real complaint is that his monologues are formulaic.
