1018: Bunny Wars
Marlon Bundo, John Oliver, Mike Pence, Book Battle
A commercial rivalry emerged between two children's books featuring Vice President Mike Pence's rabbit, Marlon Bundo. John Oliver released a parody book depicting the rabbit as gay to protest Pence's views on LGBTQ rights, which quickly became a bestseller. Proceeds from Oliver's book benefit the Trevor Project, while the Pence family's book supports anti-human trafficking efforts and art therapy.
