John Oliver brutally mocks political ads for women, and it's hilarious.

This week in complete idiocy...




The Labour Party in the U.K. was looking for a new and imaginative way to appeal to women, and they came up with a genius idea.



Was it stronger, more vocal support for reproductive rights and safety?



Nope.


Was it a renewed emphasis on equal pay?



Negative.


Was it a promise to combat global oppression of women and girls and promote female autonomy at home and abroad?



Uh, no.


It was ...



... a pink bus!


Seriously.



A pink freaking bus.
