Last Week Tonight host John Oliver might have bitten off more than he could chew with last week’s promise to consume products from some of Fifa’s main sponsors.

The English comedian made an impassioned plea to the likes of McDonald’s, Budweiser and Adidas to take a stand against the corruption that has engulfed football’s governing body, committing to eat, drink and wear their products if they helped bring down Sepp Blatter.
