Off Topic – Net Neutrality

[Bob Peterson]

Then again, maybe not. How about a video that doesn’t try to force me to watch porn? I AM NOT INTERESTED IN OR AMUSED BY PORN!! Clean it up, and maybe I’ll see what you have to say.

I did not produce that video, but I would have been proud to be involved. But I wasn’t. It’s produced by a College Humor website, and they were trying to make a point. Did you even see the video or are you assuming that because “porn” is in the title that it contains real porn, so you will complain without even seeing what you are complaining about? Clean it up? There is a naked couple in the background who are so pixellated that you have to try really hard to tell that they are even naked.

Our government will not listen. It is all about the $$ today. Pretty sad that my friend’s monthly cell phone bill is almost the same price as the monthly mortgage payment my parents had on the house I grew up in.

If a corporation can make extra $$$$ by having rules swayed their way our fine representatives aren’t going to stand in the way.

Steve,

I don’t watch porn. Period. That was porn. You don’t have to show all the nitty, gritty details to have porn. So no, I did not watch the entire video and I do not plan to do so. If you can make a rational argument, you do not need porn to do so. Using it simply alienates part of your potential audience. If what you are defending is the ability of porn producers to distribute their product (why else would the clip show porn?), then I hope the net neutrality decision goes against you. One thing we do not need in this country is to facilitate access to porn.

I did not say, or suggest, that you made the video. You did advocate watching it.
