Create your own hyperviolent John Oliver headlines

By Yuri Victor and Dylan Matthews

So far this year, HBO's John Oliver has "ripped into" the Obama administration's drone policy, "absolutely destroyed" Dr. Oz, "completely destroyed" the idea that hard work can make you rich, and "ripped FIFA to shreds." And that's just on Vox.com. His violent rampage has also extended to other sites' headlines, in a trend Oliver himself has noticed.

But John Oliver keeps obliterating things. And we here at Vox.com need to keep finding new headlines for his blood-soaked comedy routines. So, being a technology company, we figured there had to be a better way. And, sure, enough, there was. Introducing the John Oliver Headline Generator.

Contributions are a key part of the future of Vox

Readers rely on Vox for clear, nuanced coverage that not only illuminates the issues, but poses solutions, too. And we rely on help from our readers: Advertising and grants cover the majority of our costs, but we count on contributions to help us close the gaps in our budget. In fact, we’re looking to reach 95,000 individual contributions before the end of the year. Will you make the next contribution right now? Our average gift is just $20 — and it goes a long way in helping us keep our work free. Vox is here to help everyone understand what’s shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Join that mission by making a contribution today.

Yes, I'll give $5/month
