"A series of tubes" is how then-Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) described the Internet in 2006 while defending his anti-neutrality position, and it seems not a whole lot has changed up on Capitol Hill since then.
Six years later, at least half a dozen congressmen referred to?those?who actually understand the global system of?computer networks connected by?the standard?Internet protocol suite as "nerds." This smart people-bashing took place during discussions of the nerd-hated Stop Online Privacy Act currently before Congress. ?
Jon Stewart shared a montage of left-handed congressional compliments on Wednesday's "Daily Show" in a piece about?the day's Internet blackout by websites protesting the bill. He even brought Dramatic Chipmunk ? aka Dramatic Prairie Dog ??to help, and included a montage revealing how "stealing" copyrighted content can age even a host of a fake news TV show.
More on the annoying way we live now:?
Helen A.S. Popkin goes blah blah blah about the Internet ? at least until the Stop Online Piracy Act becomes a law, making snark a libelous felony. Tell her to get a real job on Twitter and/or Facebook. Also, Google+.
