VagueRant posted:So yeah, all these anectdotes from America are shocking to me. You guys are showing kids live births and graphic pictures of deformed genitals to the point where people are passing the gently caress out, and its America's approach that shocks you? Really?

VagueRant posted:So yeah, all these anectdotes from America are shocking to me. You tend to only hear the wacky stories. I went to a Catholic school and got a talk in the 6th grade that covered all the basics and contraception. Other than a few guys laughing at bits, it was about what you'd expect. Competency is boring as gently caress to talk about though.

In Colorado we were shown a video called "safe kids strong kids" because they always teamed up sex ed with "don't talk to strangers" week. The video features Henry Winkler as The Fonz and as himself. There was a song about using the proper words for body parts. And it's on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYQpjPEIqGI We also watched the PBS Nova special "the miracle of life" and had a teacher talk to us. This was before the abstinence only stuff started (it was the early nineties) I think, so it was all pretty informative about birth control and STD (referred to as venereal diseases) prevention. I went to school in a pretty liberal area though (Boulder County schools)

Schizotek posted:I went to a glorious Baptist-run christian school. I was taught that all gay sex involved shoving lightbulbs or arms (it made sure to emphasise that most did it up to the elbow) up your partners rear end before dying of AIDS. This included lesbians. The standard "condoms are useless" bullshit applied as well. That is if the damage to your colon didn't kill you first.

I'll always remember the line "Well, in my line of work, I see a lot of penises."

Well, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. According to the site (might have missed it if they said anything on the show), donations to the church will apparently be used to benefit Doctors Without Borders if anyone wants to participate in this experiment.

Or got through and can spread the word? It's a recording of Oliver getting increasingly more desperate and demanding for donations. Give it a shot, its a good chuckle, or wait for it to pop up on YouTube shortly.

This has to be one of my favorite episodes yet.  This is obviously one he has been wanted to do for a while (with the 7 month correspondence thing) and you can definitely see his passion in this episode. This is the most I've laughed at LWT for quite some time.

As someone who grew up with a parent that was giving away 10% of every check to these assholes, while being unable to put food on the table, I really appreciated this episode. It's a sad circle of predatory behavior and it feeds off of people who are looking for hope in their life. I don't see this causing anything to change, or taking down any of the big 'uns, but it is nice to hear the issue addressed. Especially with this kind of passion and humor.

Do you want to learn something funny about prosperity preachers and weird censorship? FYI the group genesis made a song called "Jesus he knows me" mocking prosperity preachers in the early 90s. Why am i talking about that? Because since the start of august of this year, EMI music decided to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja0Hs7Ryth0 So at first i was "okay, they are just editing it so it's only the song, no big deal". But then i realized they also "edited" two parts of the clip: the part where one of the preachers get caught in a bathroom having sex with a man and another part where another preacher is relaxing in a pool surrounded by nearly naked women. And they replaced both those parts with more innocent scenes from the making of. The best part? Apparently you can't access the now heavily edited Vevo/Emi video clip of the song from the United State anymore. Original video clip of the song Official EMI video of the song, it got nearly 2 million views in 6 years with the original video clip of the song but now it's the edited, 1 minute shorter video. Dailymotion VEVO edited video of the song I realized that last friday and next sunday, John Oliver tells me to TOUCH THE SCREEN. Definitively a miracle.

It's sorta really depressing how many people are giving these people money expecting something in return, like their buying lottery tickets of faith that will pay off big one day so long as they pay for this guys second private jet. I just don't quite understand the mindset that doesn't immediately recognize them for the snakeoil sellsmen and sleaze that they are.

Well there aren't any scams that start out by saying you lost the dick contest, as the smallest dick entered please send your penalty fee to this address. To get in there you have to tell people something they want to believe and then they'll help the rest of the way by looking at your bullshit in the kindest possible light. That lady couldn't have said it any plainer. Do you want to go through chemo, which will definitely suck, or would you like god to magic you healthy? Please give today. Plus once someone is "in" with you, once they're trusted, anything they say goes right past your usual bullshit detectors. Think about the dumbest thing you ever convinced your own mother of. Something that when she called the neighbors asking if they heard about the student who wanted to get away from a test and was crawling around in the rafters and fell through the ceiling tiles right on the teacher's desk in a cloud of plaster dust and said "I didn't do it, it wasn't me" and everyone laughed and then high fived your son and they said no that sounds dumb is your child lying to you? A Mr. Show skit had a bio for a civil war reeanctor guy and said he was a two-time state yelling champion who has dreams of one day finding a box of money. Aren't we all two-time state yelling champions who have dreams of finding a box of money? Give me a thousand dollars and your odds of finding a box of money just shoot through the goddamn roof, I tell you what.
