Chiitan, Japan's hottest, and most insane, new mascot starts Twitter beef with John Oliver

This is Chiitan. If you're unfamiliar, where have you been?!

Chiitan is the unofficial mascot of Susaki city and has been wreaking havoc since her birth on Dec. 14th, 2017, causing quite a bit of controversy along the way. This will get you up to speed.

The other day, Chiitan came to the attention of John Oliver. Known for covering topics of a more serious nature, John took the time to cover the controversy surrounding Chiitan. For some reason, due to this site's limitations, I can't find the full video from Last Week Tonight to embed, so I'll just link it here.

The twist to the video sparked the beef. "Explode through a table" is a reference to the story John did about WWE a month ago. It's not uncommon for Wrestlers to be put through a table.

John is simply amused by the whole thing.

I'm in a public beef with an unsanctioned Japanese otter. I needed this. https://t.co/z7Yd7izRxY

It remains to be seen whether things will escalate, but stay tuned for further developments.
