John Oliver Is Shutting Down Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption Because People Were Sending Sperm Through The Mail

hbo, john oliver, last week tonight, our lady of perpetual exemption

Our church is shutting down. Please do not send any further donations. For more information visit http://t.co/2OHLkgd7i3.

Well, we guess some people, probably those being ripped off by televangelists, didn’t appreciate John Oliver’s pointed report on how they’re being ripped off.

Thus, actions were taken which resulted in John Oliver posting this letter at OurLadyofPerpetualExemption.com:

It is I, Megareverend and C.E.O. of Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption Church, Pastor John Oliver.

We thank you for all your kind donations, but I’m sorry to report that we have closed down the church. And let me take a moment to explain why – it’s certainly not because we have to.

We have still, miraculously, not broken any laws by promising you untold riches in return for sending us money. We’re also not closing down because you all kept sending us actual seeds, even though we explicitly told you not to. We’re closing because multiple people sent us sperm through the mail. And when someone sends you jizz through the mail, it’s time to stop whatever you’re doing.

So we are shutting this s**t down. Praise be!

P.S. All previous monetary donations have been forwarded to Doctors Without Borders. We did not send the sperm.

While it’s unfortunate that this great bit of satire got shut down, we’d like to think Oliver and his team at Last Week Tonight will get onto something even way better than Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption very soon.

In Taking Down Televangelists on “Last Week Tonight”, John Oliver Starts His Own Religion, ‘Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption’

As Stephen Colbert once showed how unregulated political action committees can be in raising money for their own agenda with the Colbert Super PAC, John Oliver is now showing how unregulated televangelists are with raising money with vague promises of spiritual fulfillment that ultimately end up serving their own agenda.

In his main segment on Last Week Tonight, Oliver ran down the abuses of such televangelists, similar to the sale of indulgences by corrupt church officials hundreds of years ago, that are given so many passes by the IRS for tax-free money often used to buy jets.

After that, Oliver announced the creation of his own church, Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption, which he has made sure, through plenty of legal counsel, is legally a religion.

You can actually donate to Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption by sending money in the mail to:

Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption
P.O. Box 1954
New York, New York 10113

In the televangelist spirit, you can call 1-800-844-7475 to hear a “nice” message where Oliver asks again for money.
