For anyone unfamiliar with the show, HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” features in-depth, dark – and often viciously humorous takes on important news. The last show shared the often dark and abusive sides of guardianship in the USA:
This video is captioned. Three things about the captioning:
- The captioning is mostly accurate;
- John Oliver is a very fast talker – as a consequence, the captioning sometimes flies by quickly;
- For some reason, every expletive spoken is deleted from the captioning.
I recommend watching it and sharing it. While you’ll laugh in places, it’s a serious take on a serious topic – the rampant exploitation of people who lose their rights to control their own lives.
