This clip about "prosperity preachers" from HBO's Last Week with John Oliverhas well over 4 million views on YouTube since it was put up on Sunday's show. It completely demolishes televangelists by depicting their methods for raising money from their gullible believers. In the segment Oliver creates his own church (Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption) to demonstrate the insanity of allowing tax-empt status for these charlatans.
