Jon Stewart Takes On "Net Neutrality"
On last night's Daily Show , Jon Stewart took up the issue of "net neutrality" and Senator John McCain's efforts to create one of those ironically named pieces of legislation that sounds like it is going to deliver something good -- in this case "Internet Freedom" -- but would actually make the Internet suck out loud, forever and ever.

As Stewart explains, "If you've got a packet of information from a major corporation like Google, that information gets exactly the same treatment as a packet from a little start-up company like JohnStewartsHeadonMarioLopezsBodyGettingFuckedByAUnicorn.net." All of which makes sense -- even the part where people would want to see John Stewart's head on Mario Lopez's body carnally impaled by an onrushing unicorn. That's what "net neutrality" allows for.
