John Oliver takes cheaters to task

Comedian John Oliver is taking the residents of Canada’s capital to task for their alleged extramarital affairs.

The host of Last Week Tonight chastised the inhabitants of Ottawa following a report that claimed nearly 190,000 people in the city were members of AshleyMadison.com, a Toronto-based website for people seeking affairs. It was hacked last week.

“Let me speak to Ottawa: Ottawa, you cannot let this skeezy website destroy your marriages,” Oliver said on his show Sunday night. “Don’t take this lying down beneath some mulleted stranger wearing a wedding band.”

To purportedly assist the city’s residents in staying true to their spouses, Oliver’s show ran an instructional video of sorts, which mercilessly poked fun at the city, describing it as a “depressing, frigid s---hole.”

“Lumberjacks turn off your chainsaws; hockey players stop skating for a second, boys; moose, you just keep on moosing, this doesn’t concern you. This is for the married people of Ottawa, sitting at home, thinking about having an affair. Don’t,” the video said.
