Man, there are some dumb looking mofos on this video.
I love the concept, but it really makes me think that humanity needs an enema.

I love the fat, middle aged, bald guy in the red shirt. That Whopper is the foundation for the rest of his pathetic day.

:lawl:

I just watched the Facebook version of this, and it is mind-blowning to see the number of idiots not understanding why the repealing of net neutrality is bad, but still insist on commenting anyway. FailFish

Wow. Those comments can give you cancer.

For real though, how is a Gen X supposed to understand this? I can see how this would be confusing.

Just get a McD's app and get one dollar Big Macs (on-line orders only). Problem solved, :troll:

After about the sixth one, though, you get sick of it. Never thought I'd be saying that.



Yes................. I know.

!Aznboi128 01-25-2018 06:25 PM

Not sick of it yet :D It like the old McDouble / Jr Chicken combo but more luxurious.

Had a two can dine breakfast mailer coupon with a co worker that should have been $7.48. Scanned at the kiosk. Instead total cost was $5.86 ?! :bigthumb:

welfare 01-25-2018 09:30 PM

And yet no one cared about this prior to 2015...
Manufactured outrage seems to be selling like 1$ big mac's these days

whitev70r 01-25-2018 09:41 PM

Okay, great object lesson, kudos to BK. Social media buzzing and got some people wanting whoppers as well.

Content should be neutral (no bottleneck) agreed. But ... the fact that you get more and faster broadband if you are willing to pay more ... what exactly is the issue there? Isn't that how all our internet rates are structured? What are net neutrality people pushing for as an alternative ... everybody pays a flat/same rate and gets the same speed? I don't get that part.

Can someone explain? Isn't that just how life works, if you can afford to pay for an MRI at a private lab instead of waiting through the system, you get results quicker.

to be regulated like hydro bill

dissolving the tiers will really hurt these teleco profits for sure, it's like when they sell you a car, electronics, etc. they only have the R&D to design a few motors and detune the same engine in order to create the illusion of better performance and allowing the full 'unlocked' one to command a premium

This commercial's analogy isn't the best to understand the basics of net neutrality. Imagine this, you live right between Richmond Centre and Metrotown so you can go to either mall. It takes the exact same time to get to both malls because your car can go 50km/h to Metro and 50 km/h to RC.

Then RC comes along and sponsors the manufacturer of your vehicle with some money. Their agreement is that when you're driving to Metro you can only go 40km/h but you can go 60 km/h if you go to RC...
