Will John Oliver's EXCELLENT "UNESCO Funding Cut" Piece Go Viral...I doubt it.... [View all]

See it here:

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/epic-daily-show-segment-blasts-u-s-for-cutting-off-unesco-funding/

So why won't it go viral?

1.) Comedy Central is very picky about what it allows on YouTube

2.) It supports Palestine’s UN rights

3.) The Internet of 2012 is NOT the Internet of 2001-2004ish. The PTB have become VERY sophisticated about what is and what isn't allowed to "go viral". Oh, you can say anything and maybe 2% to 10% tops get it, but viral? Never.

Oh and Mr. Wexler? No greater love.

On Edit: I'll proof read my headlines one of these days
