If you've been reading Fark or Slashdot lately, you've probably heard about the net neutrality debates in the US Congress. Unfortunatly, the government has hit a new low. Enter Ted Stevens.

But this service is now going to go through the internet* and what you do is you just go to a place on the internet and you order your movie and guess what you can order ten of them delivered to you and the delivery charge is free.

Ten of them streaming across that internet and what happens to your own personal internet?

I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?

But why? Discuss.

That guy is in the senate? Could he be any less comprehensible? He can barely make a sensible sentence and his staff send him internets. That guy has a say on the matter??

Those cables can get awfully clogged up.

If you heard the audio, he's even worse. Hey, he's from Alaska.

If it were some random congressman, it would be hilarious. I'd laugh until the cows came home. But it's not so funny when this comes out of the mouth of someone responsible for this very issue.

He supposedly responded to the overwhelming internet meme by saying that his aides explained the situation to him and he still feels that the tube analogy is valid.

It's not a dump truck.
