John Oliver Gives 'Dildo-Gate' His Special Treatment

Comedian John Oliver has teamed up with moviemaker Sir Peter Jackson for an inevitable satirical swipe at the dildo-throwing incident involving government minister Steven Joyce.

During Waitangi celebrations earlier this month, a protester shouted "that's for takingaway our sovereignty" before throwing the large fake pink penis, hitting Mr Joyce in the face.

The incident has caught the attention of the Last Week Tonight host, who has featured it on the latest episode of his HBO show.

Oliver accepted Joyce's online challenge with glee - and Joyce has since responded: 

Well that was actually pretty funny

Fair play gentlemen, this one just isn't going away!
