If you are among the terrible people considering going to Antarctica, John Oliver has a message for you: Don't! And stop being so terrible!

Actually, Antarctica sounds pretty cool, what with those cute penguins and that fresh water and that untouched la--wait, no. No, going to Antarctica is a bad, bad idea. Consider the environment. Or consider this PSA. Look, just go to Alaska, okay?
