How the Internet works

As explained by Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska. My fave bit:

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck.

It’s a series of tubes.

Oh really!?!

People, these fools are making decisions that affect OUR LIVES! I really think you should all be more careful who you VOTE FOR. Oh, you don’t vote? I have some people in Nigeria you might want to contact…

*sigh*

You can also listen to the MP3.

Update: Here’s a very amusing explanation of why the Senator’s email (which he mentions took five days to reach him and which he used as proof of why Net Neutrality is bad) took so long to arrive.

Thanks to Free Range Librarian for the lead.

Update to the update: here’s a way cool techno remix!
