Hot take by John Oliver and the folks over at Last Week Tonight.
Each week, Last Week Tonight asks “How is this still a thing?”. This time around, they set their sights on the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
Last Week Tonight pulls the curtain back to reveal why the issue still sells so well, even with hours of online porn available, to explain how Sports Illustrated creates controversy every year. They also show that the magazine’s core audience is a bunch of perverted old dudes who probably haven’t figured out how to web search porn yet.
Look no further than that creepy Darren Rovell segment where he proposes to Kate Upton. That dude has cornered the market on the fucking creepy vibe.
So, seriously, how the fuck is the swimsuit issue still a thing?
