Clearly, no one has shown John just how strongly Bing is tied with pornography. Seriously - for those who didn't know, click videos, turn off SafeSearch, and marvel at how easily your searches deliver.

Aaaand so ends Reddit's love affair with John Oliver.
Was that Colin Hanks at the end???
At 12:55 doesn't John contradict himself a bit when he says how we can all still laugh at Anthony Weiner sending pictures of his penis out?
I'm going to go ahead and still recommend not sending naked photos to anyone if you fear them ending up online.
I could do without featuring Anita or Wu but whatever. In the end a legitimate message about a legitimate problem got out there, and anything that helps to cut down on revenge porn is a good thing.
I will say that I think there's a difference between some jackass sending you threats that are probably illegitimate over a public forum through a burner account, and someone taking a picture in front of your house with a knife. Then again I've never had to deal with either so what do I know :P
I think the segment was a net positive. Not his best work, but fuck it, I'll keep watching. John Oliver is entertaining and most of his stuff is on point.
When reddit banned revenge porn, was the top comment of the announcements thread "Why isnt SRS banned?"?
Including Wu and Anita instantly made this more divisive than it needed to be.
Cut those two out and put in 30 seconds on swatting and everyone would have agreed on everything.
