Even the negative reviews of John Oliver's Marlon Bundo book are positive
Yesterday, we reported on the success of John Oliver and the Last Week Tonight writing staff’s latest viral stunt, which involved them producing a fully realized children’s book about Mike Pence’s family rabbit, Marlon Bundo, falling in love with another male rabbit and getting married. Given the rabidness of Oliver’s audience, it was no surprise that the book rocketed to number one on Amazon, easily out-selling the Charlotte Pence book it’s parodying, and forcing publishers to rush a second printing. (Again worth noting: all the money is going to charity.) But during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers last night, John Oliver learned that his troll campaign has gone beyond book sales and taken on a new life in the form of Amazon reviews.
