RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

that’s stupid

So I’ve been seeing that crazy commercial about net neutrality paid for by the National Cable and Telecommunications Association. Here’s something really brief that someone by the handle of Ergasiophobia wrote over at /..

“It seems the National Cable & Telecommunications Association is spreading a blatant lie in the form of a commercial claiming that the net neutrality act will cost the consumer more and that it is ‘bad’ for the consumer. This, of course, ignores how much the cable companies will profit from the act’s defeat. For some truthful information on the net neutrality act check out savetheinternet.com”

I disagree with one point above. They commercial doesn’t really lie. Lying implies that a something was actually said. The commercial merely calls net neutrality “mumbo jumbo.” Mumbo Jumbo is simply defined as: “the guardian of western Sudan villages symbolized by a masked man who combats evil and punishes women for breaches of tribal laws.”

Or in this case, it’s more likely defined as: “meaningless incantation or ritual.” So like Lynn Swann’s campaign platform, the commercial is a bunch of words that mean absolutely nothing. I could say the commercial is “mumbo jumbo” but that would just be a stupid punchline. Really it just plays to that great human combination of massive ignorance and relative stupidity. But that’s not a good punchline either. Why not just watch the ad: [link]
