John Oliver turned his attention to the U.S bail system on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, explaining how it disproportionately hurts the poor. Oliver said some people might admit guilty just to stay out of jail and despaired at television shows about bounty hunters that have normalized “people with guns [who] hunt humans for sport”.

“Jail can do for your actual life what being in a marching band can do for your social life,” Oliver joked. “Even if you’re just in for a little while, it can destroy you.”
Elsewhere on Sunday’s show, Oliver kept his promise on making “the ultimate sacrifice” should FIFA and its head honcho Sepp Blatter be outed for corruption.

“Adidas, I will wear one of your ugly shoes,” Oliver had said, “One of these shoes that make me look like the Greek god of aspiring DJs. McDonald’s, I will take a bite out of every item on your Dollar Menu-which tastes like normal food that was cursed by a vindictive wizard. And I will even make the ultimate sacrifice: Budweiser, if you pull your support and help get rid of Blatter, I will put my mouth where my mouth is, and I will personally drink one of your disgusting items.”
True to his word, Oliver pulled out a horrible looking Bud Lite Lime and chugged it down.
“Bud Lite Lime may taste like your tongue is angry with you but, after seeing Sepp Blatter leaving, to me, it tastes.delicious!” he said.
