I am amazed at their continued ability to find new ways to use their budget for good. An actual reminder that behind Trump's shitshow presidency Pence lurks is important, and the book stunt is just genius.
What are the chances of John Oliver's book outselling Pence's?
Brilliant segment. He still has the ability to surprise me in new unexpected ways.
HBO money working its magic. Crazy stuff and I'm so keen to see how Rupaul features. My guess is the blinged up turtle.
On point of Pence, your country is fucked up America. At least in Australia worst we had recently was backstabbing and a dude eating an onion.
True indeed, but your political situation takes you back -1000 steps.We might have Pence, but we did legalize gay marriage before y'all did.
Ho yeah. The bunny book rightfully stole the show, but I'm not forgetting that jock strap promise. I dearly hope we get to see them use it. Or anything else from that auction really.
Amazon was like 5 days late on the first episode of Atlanta
I guess they lied and said it was for "HBO" and not so John Oliver could shit all over it. :pI'm sure they probably got a promotional copy on request or something
Audiobook version of course.Can't decide if I want to wait 3 weeks for the hardcover or actually read it right now on Kindle. Ugh.
I know right? It's crazy how they're donating 100% of the proceeds to great causes. Not 10%, not 20%, not even 90%, but every cent. I've ordered copies for friends and myself now because of that and also I want to see Mike Pence eat shit.Dear god I hope it does.
This has to be one of the best things Oliver's done on the show. A good cause and it's going to piss Pence off so much that he might have to ask his wife permission to cry.
Nope fuck his book.Don't the proceeds of Pence's daughters book go to a charity as well? If that's the case, you can't really go wrong with either of them.
Nope fuck his book.
1) Only a portion of the proceeds go to charity. They also don't even clearly state what that portion is. It could be 10% to charity and 90% to the Pences.
2) One of his stops on the book tour is at a hate group.
Wanna donate to Riley Children's Hospital or A21? Just donate to them directly.
"It's unfortunate that anyone would feel the need to ridicule an educational children's book and turn it into something controversial and partisan. Our and Mrs. Charlotte Pence's goal is—and will continue to be—to educate young readers about the important role of the vice president, as well as to highlight the charities to which portions of the book proceeds will be donated," a spokesperson said in a statement to CNN.
The biggest revelation regarding this episode for me was the fact that Ru Paul is now fucking bald, and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to handle this information.
I think it's been that way for a long timeThe biggest revelation regarding this episode for me was the fact that Ru Paul is now fucking bald, and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to handle this information.
The publisher of the Pence book responded!

As a stunt, this whole gay bunny book thing is a brilliant, headline-making gag to giggle over and applaud—trolling at its best, from John Oliver, the master of trolls. But as a book, it defies all of that. What a beautiful children's book, with a simple message of love.
