More with John Oliver: Net Neutrality

[numbered]

I had tears in my eyes from laughter several times watching Oliver's take on the Net Neutrality situation. He said: "B of A took your house, Taco Bell gave you diarrhea, GM tried to kill you, but you hate cable companies more!"

He begins by agreeing about boring, but then goes all in. He finishes by pleading with all the internet trolls to comment to the FCC. Alongside the earlier Oliver take on Climate, this is brilliant.

Oliver: "Cable companies have it figured out: if you want to do something evil, wrap it up in something boring." This might be a good .sig

Oliver does NN

The John Oliver show is shaping up very nicely.
I look forward to it every week.
I personally loved his take on political attack ads, a couple of weeks ago.

I thought the piece on NN was great, and right on point, too.

I just opened FCC.gov/comment and tried to open proceeding 14-28 on net neutrality.

Perhaps this is a coincidence but.....

First attempt-- TW disconnected me from the internet, reconnected about a minute later
Second attempt-- partial load of page....... disconnected from internet as above.
Third attempt-- partial load of page......frozen


Do you suppose TW is trying to discourage comments or is the FCC just getting overloaded? I hope it's the latter.

They are probably being slammed due to the above video going viral.

You can email them at openinternet @ fcc .gov

You can also send comments the old-fashioned way. Granted, it requires a little bit of effort.

I was able to file a comment just fine, thanks for posting this.

Things are running smoothly now, but the Federal Communications Commission's public was so waylaid by people writing in on Monday that the agency had to send out a few tweets saying "technical difficulties" due to heavy traffic affected its servers.

Blame former Daily Show fake-newscaster and comedian John Oliver, who now helms his own show on HBO, Last Week Tonight.
