Apropos of nothing in particular, the "Waitangi dildo incident" [View all]

Watched this last night on an old episode of Last Week Tonight and I think it's HILARIOUS there is a Wikipedia page named "Waitangi dildo incident"!

I don't think I've laughed so hard since I saw a live taping of The Daily Show!

The Waitangi dildo incident occurred on 5 February 2016 in Waitangi, New Zealand, when a protester flung a rubber dildo at MP Steven Joyce, striking him in the face. The incident became international news, and was quoted and parodied in art, music, and television comedy.
