I think that was just poking fun at John Oliver. Aasif is promoting his new movie now.

Yeah. This is the first I've heard of it too. I thought he was just gone to work on the movie with John Hamm.


Edit: The show is called "The Brink". Also this is loving pathetic.

“I would support. Obviously I’d have to know the details, but I would support ways of bringing him home, and if exchange was one of them, I think that would be something I think we should seriously consider.”

“Today, I received from the National League of POW/MIA Families, a “Never Forget Bracelet” emblazoned with the name of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. He was seized on June 30, 2009 in Afghanistan and is being held by the Haqqani Organization – a Taliban afilliated terrorist group – in northwest Pakistan. Sgt Bergdahl and his loved ones here at home deserve our prayers and encouragement until he is rescued or released. That’s what we do. We’re Americans.”

I don't know about you guys, but I think providing literal rifles and missiles to dangerous individuals is a bit more likely to bite the USA in the rear end than five people who will probably be blown to bits by drones anyway.

He's been a correspondent there for years.

So... yes. Not only did they think people would not notice, but they thought people would see him as an Authority On The Matter.

Well they pretty much did it to themselves, their prices were crazy inflated and they had the complete lack of business sense to let Amazon run their online operations.

I am aware of genre satire, just that wasn't funny. It was just "hey lets get strapped and ghostride to Turn Down For What" that looks like a youtube video.

Yeah, whenever he's promoting something, he always strikes me like he's still acting. It's why I enjoyed his role in This Is The End so much: in that movie he's a disingenuous piece of poo poo who hides his true identity under a facade of cheesy, over-the-top niceness.

I assumed he had some more noble reasoning than "it's a cheap, easy, and convenient service."
Which is fine and totally why I use Amazon for everything, but them doing pretty shady poo poo to try to force a publisher to drive their prices down is awful Walmarty of them.
