A frustration I have had with shows like The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, The Nightly Show, and now Last Week Tonight, is that the shows inform me, and get me all riled-up, then just leave me to sit and steam; What can I do about this? Where can I turn to try to help change this?
So naturally I got quite excited when I saw an article from Khoi Vinh, a designer I know of from New York, titled What to Do After You’ve Watched John Oliver.
But I was quickly disappointed when I read the article and found he was merely talking about the same frustration I share, but was not offering any advice for what to do after I watched John Oliver…
Well then, I would be remiss not to try to help spread the word of one viewer that did find a direction, and did take at least some action. And so I share with you Can They See My Dick?.
If you do not understand the site’s title, then you did not watch the Last Week Tonight bit, and you should, like right now! So, before you judge or dismiss, go watch the bit, then come back and see what you think. At the very least, this site’s creator should get some shares for trying to do something.
Sadly, all-but hidden in the bottom-right corner of this site, is a link to actually take action, so be sure not to miss that!
And each of us that care about such topics, should try to find some way to help do something similar. As Khoi mentioned in his piece, the actions taken regarding Net Neutrality that were inspired by Last Week Tonight were huge; think what effect the same populace could have on larger, more life-affecting issues…
Happy taking action,
