John Oliver Is Lying To You

John Oliver of Last Week Tonight had some exciting "news" to share about a book he referenced on his show, Stranger Than Truth, "We are actually producing that book. Next spring it will be released as a hardcover volume by Simon & Schuster, who I chose to work with given their wealth of experience printing the factual-sounding bull s*** of Dr. Oz. So you knew they could do it well." Our favorite British import then shared some of his favorite history lies, "Due to a severe horse allergy, Paul Revere spent most of his famous midnight ride sneezing and vomiting into the streets. It's a fact. You'll also see that Irish step-dancing was invented by the farmers of Cork County, who used to kill pesky field mice by strapping slabs of wood to their feet and rhythmically clobbering them to death." So, excited for John Oliver's book? You shouldn't be. Oliver explained, "For the complete list, purchase my book when it comes out in April 2016. Except there is no book, that was another lie. This entire video has been a waste of everyone's time. If you want to waste some more time please join us September the 13th when Last Week Tonight returns. Until then, trust nobody. Especially me."
