Sen. Stevens’ Internet Ignorance Goes Viral

From Boldheaded.com

Check out a glorious techno mash-up song of Sen. Ted Stevens’ instantly infamous speech last week on Internet technologies, in which the 85-year-old chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee—which is debating Net Neutrality—betrayed his woefully inadequate grasp of Net fundamentals.

Boldheaded:

The Bold Headed Broadcast would like to thank Sen. Ted Stevens for providing the online world with such an amazing sound bite this week. It’s a skillful fusion of political doublespeak and perplexing ignorance on how the Internet works. In his honor, weve remixed the most amusing gems from his illuminating perspective of the Internet and remixed it into a techno track for the world to enjoy.
