VIDEO: John Oliver on Why Being an Afghani Translator Should Be Like Little League

Remember when the Taliban was the most terrifying terrorist group in the game? Man, it seems almost quaint now.

John Oliver explains why this is bad news in a segment that will make you wish for a time machine to go back to the halcyon days of the nineties, before this shit show got off the ground. Such technology does not exist, but Monica Lewinsky just joined Twitter, which is sort of the next best thing.
