Your video, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Australia Dogs Countdown, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Uhm... OK, the minister dude was a little blunt, but if you smuggle contraband animals into a country and then get busted, I think you ought to be happy you got any countdown/warning period to get them out at all.

If Joe Average did this and the authorities caught him, I'd imagine it would be highly likely they'd confiscate the animals on the spot and euthanize them quickly. Possibly with no chance to appeal, etc.

So, that might be one of the first times that I've actually disagreed with John Oliver on his new show...

The countdown begins. Ten... nine...eight...

Oh, the Asteroideanity

"Aaaaaand in this corner-Animals amok and burning yachts, up next on the Mint 5000 Countdown, man falling form scaffolding while attempting sex with a cute little sea otter! Humanity, what will you think of next?!!"

Exactly. He could also have included cutting to a side camera shot in the middle of a sentence. Or having a far shot that shows the main camera and lighting equipment. Or a staged shot of him chuckling to himself as he blows a take. Or a slow close-up pan across his face, looking real earnest. Or SMPTE code at the bottom of the screen. Or the countdown footage at the beginning.
I hate this crap with a passion.

all our lights up here have them, i rather like them. I dont think they are seconds, some faster unit. It is possible though that my psyche is on slow-mo though. They are visible from far enough away that they help with braking decisions -- when the roads are good. They are small enough that on very icy days you cant read the numbers until you are too close to stop.

They've been doing that in St Charles, MO (a St Louis suburb) over the last few years... Well, at least they're displaying a countdown to the end of the green light. A countdown to the end of the red light would just encourage people to treat the green light as a racing start, and would undoubtedly contribute to more accidents.

@Quboid

It doesn't take much variance in speed to cause annoyance in other drivers, if this device tells you to slow down even 5km/h (sorry I don't do miles), you're going to be breaking the flow of traffic and people *will* overtake you.

People drive up to and often slightly over the speed limit, you can say whatever you want about what people *should* be doing but it's not reality, so it's moot.

If this doesn't take other drivers in to consideration, the entire thing is pointless other than the light countdown timer, which is handy but could also cause irresponsible driving ("If I speed up now, I'm gonna make it, this thing is switching in 5 seconds!").

What else is it telling you? Start slowing down now but oh wait, 5 cars just took position in front of you...guess the distance I calculated to the traffic light just then is no longer useful, you better slow down another 10km/h, oh hell just look in front of you and slow down to meet traffic conditions.

Ok thanks computer!

There is also an expectation that technology works and it is entirely valid, yes people should use common sense but this doesn't excuse your product for not working, this is silly. The purpose of technology is to work so transparently, you are doing less thinking so you can focus on more important things, like sudden high impact situations that require heroic reaction times.

Anyway, I don't think this is bad tech, I think it is not particularly useful in today's environment and is just an odd stepping stone to proper smart cars. I think the gradual progression to smart cars is the fault of an uneducated public who have unfounded hate in the concept of letting go of driving to a computer.

I just want smart cars every where for everyone, so we can have safe and effective roads.

I've always wondered why they don't put countdowns to green lights and red lights. That would give the drivers better warning to hit the green just right without slowing and also minimize the 2-3 sec delay that people have taking off from a stop.

Off-topic - when are people going to stop using the dumbass interference screen as a transition. Everything is digital now, when was the last time you changed the channel and had a blank channel with interference noise in between? That test pattern is almost as dumb. Why not go for the trifecta and use the video countdown clip from 10 to 1 that every video noob uses to look "authentic".

I was expecting a launch countdown to begin. Space Truckers!

Start the countdown to the first rodent-centipede joke.
That was weird.
