As you may be aware, the Internet has been buzzing with hilarity at the comments of a certain senator Ted Stevens. Together with other senators, he's been busy debating the issue of net neutrality and decided to vote against it.
Unfortunately, he doesn't seem overly qualified to do so, to put it mildly. His grasp of what the Internet is, and is not, shines through in the following two quotes:
“I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday.”
“The internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck. It’s a series of tubes.”
The eloquence. The depth of knowledge. Astounding.
And just a little bit terrifying, if you ask me.
