Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Home Depot Commercial

My sister should definitely watch this commercial from the John Oliver show.  This morning, on the way into work, I heard the radio DJs discussing the SNL skit about anti-Taylor-Swift-induced-vertigo medication last night.  They said it was incredibly funny and spot on.  After work, the trending section on Youtube had both the SNL commercial and John Oliver's Home Depot commercial.  I honestly don't understand why, when presented with these two pieces of humor, you'd spend a lot of time talking about the SNL skit.  I don't find it funny.  At all.  And not because I'm a Taylor Swift fan.  It's just not funny.  So watch this instead.  And then go watch John Oliver's piece on state legislatures and ALEC.

In which Home Depot plays an April Fool's joke on me in December

I was swapping out outlets and covers at the rental property today, among many other messy things (maybe I'll post that next...).  I got to this plate cover and, in because I was in screwing auto pilot, just putting screwdriver to screw without really thinking about it, was momentarily incredibly confused.  I'm glad one of the outlets was wired wrong initially so I could over it with a flat plate and had an extra outlet cover available.
