John Oliver: Barack Obama Faces Challenges of the 18th Century
Obama knew he would be tested early on, but he didn't think it'd be by pirates.
With these increased attacks stemming from Somalia's corrupt government and no economy to speak of, is this a concern Obama needs to address immediately?

Elizabeth McBride said:"Piracy is no joke."… etc.
I do believe that was the comedic point of this skit, Oliver insisting on the non-humour of the situation and Stewart insisting on clichè pirate funnies, forcing Oliver to do his bidding.
Methinks ye've missed tha point, fair lassie!!
I'll bring ya a sense 'o' humour, as soon as I sieze one through force of arms vis-a-vis the illicit boarding and commandeering of an innocent commercial vessel! Ahhhrrr…..
Piracy is no joke. It is truly endangering us. Harper's Magazine had a fabulous article about this some years back. And you, Jon, are better at intelletual humor than at ridiculous body language. Plus, you are too full of yourself. It's the difference between David Letterman and all of his imitators. Get real.

Why is John Oliver dressed as Napoleon? Is he available to join the fight? Isn't he indisposed owing to an advanced case of being dead?
Why is John Oliver dressed as a Frenchman?
The Flying Spaghetti Monster will be take care of all those pirates! Or we send them to Gitmo, now that my Texas plan has fallen through,…
Or I could just take them hunting?
I very much doubt Obama speaks Somalian. He's not used to dealing with a bunch of warlords and drug dealers. Theft has become an entire country's sole source of income. The scary part? They're good at it.
Clearly the shipping industry needs to make some changes if they want this to stop. One small boat of armored bandits shouldn't be able to steal an entire oil tanker!
Of course, since we do have a convicted felon in the Senate, maybe we should send him after the pirates.
Does Obama speak the Pirates' language, Piratese, to communicate with them?
Arrrgh matey,
John Oliver, me best cut and slash man!
