Series of Tubes (Subtitles) [LOL]

"Series of tubes" is an analogy used by United States Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) to describe the Internet in the context of network neutrality.[1] On June 28, 2006, he used this metaphor to criticize a proposed amendment to a committee bill. The amendment would have prohibited Internet service providers from charging fees to give some companies higher priority access to their networks or their customers. This metaphor (along with several other odd choices of words) was widely ridiculed as demonstrating Stevens' poor understanding of the Internet.

I have a feeling that we just got a glimpse of how copernicus must have felt when the church insisted the earth was the center of the solar system.

I want someone to send me an internet. The ironic thing is that netflix hadn't even started streaming yet, you were only ordering. Also the internet has finite capacity... unlike a dump truck .
