John Oliver To The Brands: "Please Make Sepp Blatter Go Away"
This week’s Last Week Tonight With John Oliver monologue is very funny.

What’s most useful for our purposes, though, is Oliver’s offer to global brands like Adidas, Anheuser-Busch, and McDonald’s, whose executives are the only ones keeping Sepp Blatter in power. Shaming them for supporting slavery hasn’t worked so far—maybe free native advertising will? We fully support this deal, and for our part we will shoehorn paeans to the virtues of tasty Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, delicious Bud Light Cheladas, and convenient Visa financial-services products into everything we publish as soon as these companies give us reason to do so.
