John Oliver exposes the MLM’s or Multilevel Marketing companies and pyramid schemes that take advantage of hard-working people, and invites you to join one of his own, to help raise awareness of the heartbreaking traps.
Companies with familiar names like Herbalife, Mary Kay, Amway, Market America and Youngevity promise a chance to work your own hours, vacations, jewelry, toys and vacation homes next to all of Mitt Romney’s if you wish. If you can dream it, and work hard for yourself…It’s all yours! How can you go wrong? Celebrities like Chuck and Gina Norris have given the scheme ‘due diligence’ so its A-okay!
The would-be entrepreneurs often find themselves with a garage filled with useless product, deep in debt to the company that promised they’d soon be farting through silk. Fun fact…Just over 30% got a check for $10 dollars – or less last year, the rest didn’t fare as well. Those at the very tip-top of the pyramid, raked in the cash, as is always the case.
John feels that there has to be a way to tell the world about the dangers of pyramid schemes, and the perfect distribution system already exists – the audience of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
“You can be an independent distributor of this leading video about the dangers of MLM. You can do it full time or part time, and give your family the life they deserve…which is frankly not getting caught up in this bullpoop,” John preaches with a laser light show and pyrotechnics that have become common fare for recruitment. This is a far cry from the days of a flip chart in someone’s living room…The sort of thing that made me cautious of invitations by all but well-known friends and acquaintances.
All you have to do is send this video to five people – or ten or twenty, or pester your entire list! Ask them to do the same with their nearest and dearest correspondents. This is one pyramid scheme well worth joining. It doesn’t cost a cent, and the human misery it can save is priceless.
