Jimmy Kimmel Explains Net Neutrality

Read Time:42 Second

Confused by “net neutrality?”  I know that I am and I publish a website.  So, while casting about trying to find a way to explain it to all of us I found the following gem from TheWeek.

“Net neutrality” is a very boring term for a pretty important idea: that all information on the internet should be treated equally, without preferential treatment for web services that can afford it. Lots of people on the internet have tried to explain net neutrality and the Federal Communications Commission’s internal battle — and losing fight with a particular federal court — to enforce or undermine it. Jimmy Kimmel tried a different tactic on Wednesday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. If you don’t understand net neutrality or its importance — or if you like laughing at drunk guys in bathrobes — watch below. –Peter Weber

You are right. For two guys that really and truly have not spent that much time together in person we have become very close friends. Besides, how can you not like a guy that drinks the same brand of scotch that you do.

OK Mike, that was a lousy way to get yourself on TV after a night of hard drinking (just kidding, that was not Mike) but what is the point that we should be taking from this? Call the FAA, shoot the Drunk Guy? Call the President? or, Trade in our computers for carrier pigeons?
