John Oliver Takes On The Hypocrisy Of All Those Sappy Mother’s Day Ads

In this clip John Oliver ‘s Last Week Tonight takes on the hypocrisy of all of those sappy ads you see companies run about wishing mothers a Happy Mother ‘s Day. The hypocrisy being that those same companies saying that they ‘d do anything for a mom because moms are special don ‘t do something very basic for moms: provide paid maternity leave. Oliver points out that the United States and Papua New Guinea are the only two countries not to do so. But don ‘t worry, all you soon-to-be-moms out there. Even though you won ‘t get paid family leave, you can still head down to Hooters on Mother ‘s Day and get some free chicken wings.
