John Oliver: ‘Cable company f*ckery’ is going to ruin your Internet



Link: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/06/02/john-oliver-fight-for-net-neutrality-as-a-bulwark-against-cable-company-fckery/

On HBO’s Last Week Tonight, host John Oliver took on the mind-numbingly dull topic of net neutrality saying advocates should call it, “Preventing Cable Company Fuckery.”

Saying net neutrality is, “the only two words in the english language promising more boredom than ‘featuring Sting’,” Oliver explained the importance of the pending proposal before the FCC, calling it ‘hugely important.”

"Needing a babysitter and hiring a dingo."
"Two words more boring than 'Net Neutrality' are 'Featuring Sting'."

Its the most important story of our time. I don 't know why its not getting more discussion. Even on DU. This story will fall faster than wait times to get on Fox News website. Maybe because Obama and the Third Way Dems are all on board.

because the same lobbyists who are advocating for it also control most of the media. Should take him seriously though on going to FCC.GOV/COMMENTS - and he already gave us the message to send them - Stop Cable Company F*$kery!
Love John Oliver
