John Oliver and an army of Internet trolls managed to break the FCC's website Monday night.
On the Sunday, June 1, episode of "Last Week Tonight," Oliver issued a rallying cry to angry online commenters to "focus your indiscriminate rage in a useful direction" against the Federal Communication Commission's proposed changes to net neutrality regulations.
