[Caution: Video definitely NSFW]

Kansas has a serious problem. They've lowered taxes so much they can't pay their bills, and they've cut education funding so far that the court is forcing them to restore some of it, making that deficit even bigger.

Still, Governor Brownback does have some revenue choices he can make, and one of them is selling vibrators and other adult toys seized when an adult toy distributor failed to pay taxes in a timely fashion, measly as they are.

John Oliver wants to help. We all should help. Kansas needs us. So here's the deal. Oliver is right. People should go to the auction website and overbid on the various sex toys there, including the "icicles," which in addition to being hand-crafted, are also hand-blown. Let your imagination carry the rest of that, or just watch the video.

As Oliver says, "Just do it, Kansas. Because while your state legislature has f*cked you into this, this is your chance to go and f*ck yourselves out of it."

You heard the man...get on it.

Can you help us out?
