Play of the Day: Trolls, Raccoons and Trial Lawyers
The patent troll problem is truly out of control.
Since Hillary Clinton's announcement last week, the Republican contender for the presidency have been largely forgotten. The Late Show's David Letterman and Real Time's Bill Maher got back to them this weekend, with both making jokes at the expense of the rotund New Jersey governor's weight. Maher also got in a shot at Marco Rubio by comparing his youth to Hillary Clinton's lack of it.
Last Week Tonight's main story Sunday night was on patent trolls. Host John Oliver examined the system by which companies sit on intentionally vague patents and shake down small businesses with the threat of expensive lawsuits. In doing so, he joked about Tom Cruise, Apple's FaceTime and did a pretty convincing impression of a raccoon.
