Biggest thing wrong with Block's alternate book is that his Marlon Bundo isn't even a rabbit. He's a hare.

Total Meatlove posted:So she has no agency, then she does have agency, then she doesn’t, then John Olivers a bully for picking on the VP’s daughters bunny book ‘needlessly’ when you argue two paragraphs before that he’s definitely using it for political gain? i'm very sorry that you never learned what the word "or" means your life must be very hard actually i have no idea what the gently caress you read because i said that the typical conservative response would be to needlessly bash something which gives money to charity, not that John Oliver is doing the needless bashing. I presented two possible outlooks on how Charlotte Pence's actions look, one if she's more liberal than her dad but still working with him out of famililal pressure/desire to do a little good in a giant shitstorm, and one if she's just as conservative but more intelligent than your average Child Of A Republican Politician in that she isn't full-throatedly endorsing Trumpism in an effort not to turn away the largest possible market for her book (because selling a children's book to Trumpists isn't as profitable as selling it to Republicans and boring centrists).

If anything, Pence has shown himself to be skilled at PR and self control enough that poo poo like this doesn't seem to register. Like, maybe he's punching walls, screaming into his prayer book, or violently masturbating and shitposting on Pornhub in private, but the public response is "Oh, Flamboyant Gay People grinding on my lawn? Here, have some pizza youth"

Lol, big dummy Bob Murray sent the judge in his case a rambling letter complaining about how mean John was. If you know anything about the law (or read an article about it) you'll know that this is a really stupid thing to do.

 If they really depended on your actual reputation, they would have lost their jobs due to your gently caress-ups years ago Bob. It is your actions Bob that they depended on. Many of them have lost their jobs due to them, and some have lost their lives due to them Bob. Eat poo poo Bob.

Kinda reminds me of the whole logic behind the 3/8ths compromise. Wealthy industrialist owns the livelihoods of a bunch of people and feels those people's interest should be synonymous with his own because he owns them. I guess that's the way the "job creators" argument is supposed to go. Die in a fire, Bob.

I love how he also completely ignores the fact that the "Eat poo poo Bob" line was a direct quote from one of said coal miners. It's not like Oliver just made that up out of thin air.

To be honest I don't even remember the piece that started this except that it had something to do with a wealthy corrupt coal guy and ended with a squirrel mascot. I should go rewatch it.

Will & Grace showrunner Max Mutchnick bought over 1,000 copies of Oliver's gay bunny book and sent one to every elementary school in Mike Pence’s home state of Indiana. https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/03/31/will-grace-showrunner-sends-book-about-mike-pences-gay-bunny-to-every-school-in-indiana/ Also it's still #1 on Amazon's bestsellers list but the 'official' Marlon Bundo book has dropped down to #79 on the list.

It's kinda hard to find the humor in a story about how our broken judicial system is influenced by an ignorant and hateful agenda and is sending children to their deaths. But then you have H. Jon Benjamin show up and... actually I was still pretty sad thinking about those people.

Why? It's more polite than "Trump the nazi", "That rear end in a top hat". Are you implying that he is deserving of any respect?

It's become synonymous with mediocre, Trump-era satire. John Oliver takes a lot of poo poo for it, despite how he only did that joke once.

He kept using it in conversations with people who hadn't seen the episode (and probably had never even heard of John Oliver, he's not that well known here in Australia) so they had no idea what the gently caress he was talking about.
